My buddy did take some reading with a Seneye. @ 70%, I was getting 300+ PAR everywhere just off the sandbed. 200+ @ the sandbed.

Anyone have their AP700 die? I have had 2 of them just stop working and have another coming. I am still under the 1 yr warrantee but I am very nervous that once the warrantee is out, I may be screwed if it happens again. I live in South FL and there are thunderstorm all summer and power can flicker often. I have the Kessil plugged in to an Apex. Nothing else on my tank has gone out from any of these storms, but the Kessil twice in under a year.
When the first unit went out, but power supply was fine, but the light would not power on, just dead. I really like the light but am considering selling it for something else. |

Had some alone time with a seneye par meter here's some quick measurements taken ... Lights are 7" above tank (60x24x24)
@ 1" below water level @100% ocean blue @12" below water @ 70% Same spot as above 12" but at 100% These lights are beast! Had a good talk with kessil @Macna 2016 hope they listen to some customer feedback (update the app ) |

Don't know why people think the AP700 is not strong enough with those huge reflectors it has. I guess spotlighting is the only way to show intensity in their minds.

So I just talked to apogee. The reef people on the internet have been saying you need to multiply your results by 1.32 for for "immersion correction". This has been the explanation for why the new 500 series sensors read so low. Now apogee is saying there is something called geometric correction depending how far your lights are from the sensor. If you throw this in it makes the "True Par" even lower then the read out. Apogee is saying this is the real PAR value and nobody does this. Basically said everyones PAR values are over stated. Now all sensors are useless, great.

Wow! So much for me getting a PAR Meteor, at least for now. All I know is that my lights are awesome! Damn the doubters/haters. These things grow coral. Soon I'll post a one month update. Aaron

Just wondering, what is the advantage to getting an AP 700 instead of two 360?

The light gets well blended because of the Dense Matrix Array and the single large fish eye lens over it. The real magic though is the reflector. Seems basic, but the fact that the AP700 has no hotspots, and a very large coverage area shows its effect on the performance. The reflector pushes the light down into too the tank, and shapes it. This prevents light spilling out of the tank while ensuring every photon reaches the tank.

Too bad the app only works on an ipad and the price is insane.

There is now an android version and the beta for IPhone is easily obtainable via Kessil. Aaron

The android app works just fine on my nexus 6p. Also how is the price insane? It costs a tad more than a Radion but blows it away in coverage. It pretty much takes 2 radions to match the coverage of an ap700.

There are a lot of other options that would cost much more to cover my 6' 180.

Yes I agree. For the coverage relative to the price, it really isn't anymore expensive than other LEDS
