Yes, it does. The lens on my AP700s seem almost identical to the G4. If you removed the reflector to see only the lens then you would see how it is not just a typical lens. The Kessil has a half sphere lens possibly more. That makes a huge difference in the way the optics performs. Aaron

And Kessil was first to employ this on a LED.

I just bought an A160WE for my nano and have noticed something pretty weird. At night with my AP700 I run Deep Ocean Blue (basically 0% on the whites)....but on the A160 when I go as blue as it can go it is not nearly as "pure" of an Actinic. Anyone else ever notice this color difference? Since the tanks are in the same room (our living room so they are both on display) it looks pretty strange. Probably going to return it and hope that the A80 is more similar to the AP700.....thoughts???

I wouldn't bank on it, though that would be really cool. Looks like it has input/out for the link cable so that tells me that you can control it with the Kessil controller at least. Aaron

Thought I would share I little more info on my setup.
2- 5 foot ati 4 bulb standard power module Bulb combo is per fixture 2 blue plus 1 purple plus 1 coral plus The AP700 are in the center. ATI's are front and rear. Started off around 60% at first... Burned a lot of corals Dropped to 30% and raised 5% per month. I max my ap700 at 60% as of now. And as far as red/green. I only add a little in the morning and evening. All midday is standard kessil color settings. Thinking of taking it up again once I balance the tank a little more. |

I'm at 70% no T5s and I've tried several times to up it. Doesn't get a good response. I've concluded that 70% is all I'll ever need, corals color and grow well. My Par readings start at 200 in the corner sandbed. If your at 60, with T5s. I would stay there, don't mess with a good thing. Aaron

Yes, especially when you are covering more area. Aaron

Nope. Only running AP700s. No need for T5s.

Don't see any need for T5, however if my display becomes completely full of SPS acros and I've got too much shadowing I'll consider it. My 2 AP700 cover my 180 just fine.

I don't own a kessil ap700 yet but I do want to upgrade to them eventually. I think that thread is a pretty good idea.
