    Do you still use kessil? Is it still the light of choice for you?

    Hello Jacob from the UK!!! I have just set-up a well planted freshwater aquarium using a pair of Kessil A160WE Tuna Sun. I also have the Kessil controller and wondered if you have any advice on program settings for starting out - times, spectrum, intensity etc? Many thanks in anticipation

  • @4funrc11

    Mounted backwards, ie thumb screws should -not- be facing the water to avoid mineral buildup.

    • @MrJacobCastro
      @MrJacobCastro  9 лет назад

      4FunRC I did this purposely. I mounted my lights to the tank after it was set it place, so there wasn't enough space behind my tank to mount the goose necks properly. I've had them this way for a very long time, no mineral build up....mostly because I clean my equipment. Thanks for watching.

    LED flood light are cheaper and better. Get a Kessil if you want more features that you wont use and have money to throw away. On that tank he has over $700 in lights

    how much benefit is taken away if you have glass top lids on the top of the aquarium?

    • @matthewray5954
      @matthewray5954 Год назад

      That depends on the clarity and transparency of the glass, if it is clean and clear then it wont effect the light output very much. If the glass is foggy or dirty then it wil. Dim the light

    How do you deal with humidity? Since theres no "top" on this aquarium you gotta get alot of humidity right?

      @MrJacobCastro  9 лет назад

      Simen André Are you referring to evaporation? If so. Yes water does evaporate quite a lot from both of tanks but my room is well ventilated and I don't pay extra for water so it really doesn't matter to me. Thanks for watching my friend :)

    Would you have to have CO2 if you do the a360 light?

    • @AreYouBoredNation
      @AreYouBoredNation 4 года назад

      It depends on what you are trying to grow. Generally, more light doesn't replace CO2, plants still need CO2 to grow, but depending on the plants you are using you may or may not need it.

    I set up an aquarium a few years ago and I'm sort of giving it a makeover, since I didn't know much when I started it. I have java ferns and this other small plant that looks kind of like a java fern but the leaves are smaller and the ends of the leaves are frayed. My guess was wisteria but the rhizome looks like a java fern rhizome. Do you know what the plant is?

    • @thesinlessotaku
      @thesinlessotaku 8 лет назад

      my guess is java fern windelov. wiseria is a stem, and does not grow in a rhizome fashion.

  • @IHVHandmind
    @IHVHandmind 8 лет назад

    Can anyone give me an honest comparison between the eheim power led and the kessil tuna sun? My' tank is an eheim aquastyle 9, so that's about I think 14 inches tall. I'm either going to replace the now-failing light that came with the tank or buy a kessil. I like the idea of being able to adjust and customize things and hopefully the price difference can justify the purchase and make my' tank look better than the stock light ever could and of course grow plants better.

    • @thesinlessotaku
      @thesinlessotaku 8 лет назад

      kessil now makes an led specially for nano aquariums, the a80 tuna sun.

      The Kessil will last for years, you have to change t5s bulbs every 6 months, after 10 years and all the bulb changes and the time to go to the store and the cost of the actual bulbs Kessil is a much better value

    • @MrJacobCastro
      @MrJacobCastro  9 лет назад +1

      lolrofl5 I'm sure they're priced this way for a reason. The manufacturing process can't be cheap for these products, not to mention Kessil has to stay alive as a business as well. If every company just sold their products at the price the community wanted, no one would be in business. I think its fair to say if you were the owner of Kessil you'd feel the same way when its your business you've built from the ground up out of your own pocket on the line. Thanks for watching.

    Hi jacob, bit off topic but which have you tried/prefer EI dosing or dirted tanks? or do you use ada aqua soil or something like that?

    • @MrJacobCastro
      @MrJacobCastro  9 лет назад +1

      Jacob Muller Hi Jacob. I personally believe dirt is a natural substance that belongs to the earth. I've heard to many negative things about dirt in planted tanks to feel confident enough to recommend it. Bacterial blooms, algae blooms, permanent cloudy water, it just doesn't seem like it can be used successfully. While some natural things work well in planted tanks, I believe dirt is one of those things we just can't use. Substrates specifically made for planted tanks, like ADA soil, Tropica Soil, ECO Complete, they've all been tested, processed and formulated to be used in aquariums, as such they work much better. Thanks for watching my friend :)

  • @CliseruGabriel

    Hello Jacob,
    i challenge you test in a future video how much light actually reaches the bottom of the tank in a 36 inch tank.
    I have custom made tank (21 W x23 L x39 H) [don't ask] and my current neon lights are great at lighting the room but not so great at providing light to the bottom plants.
    I thank you in advance,
    Gabi

      DMAN D Can't say for sure. I've never owned one personally. But honestly, metal halides, T8, T5's, its old technology. Everyone should switch to LED's. They consume less power and last for years, rather then the others that use bulbs or tubes in their fixtures that have to be replaced every six months putting more electronic waste into our landfills. Thanks for watching.
