Maybe he'll post some pics on here. I'm also curious if I'll need wide or narrow lenses.

Difference in what? Coral growth obviously man. I had a strip LED beforehand and I have a few hammers and frogspawns and they started to go brown on my from not enough light and then I put the kessils on and they grew and the colors are more vibrant then other. Also with some of my zoas they are open fully and colors pop. I personally love the Kessils. What type of information are you looking for? Like I said I have two on my 57, I don't know how two would go on a 150, would need more.

That's better, I have a 150. So you were just running an led strip? Nothing else? I'm looking for some technical info also, par readings, spread, ability to grow sps, etc. thanks for your input. A pic would be cool too!

The kessil web site has full specs but if I'm not mistaken the a150w coverage is about 18" wide 24" deep at about 6-8" from surface of water. I believe the a360 is 22" wide.
Here's a pic of my tank

I have a couple stick frags that I got a bit of growth off of 1 light alone. Now that I have 3 total I'm looking to see an increase in growth on all corals...sticks included.

I had (3) 350w on my 90 gal. 360 are stronger but you would still need 3 to cover the 60 inch. Are you going to have SPS. If so you would need more than (3) to cover width and depth. But you can supplement them with Led lights or T5 lights. They very good lights but the bigger the tank you either need to use more or use other supplement with them. Color and growth are good. For my tank 3 did a good job. But since I had middle bracket I remove one Kessil in middle and added 120w Led with 350w on each end. And the tank had more pop. I think the question are you planning a reef tank or fish only.

Definitely sps, was hoping 3 would do it.

I think 3 would cover your length. 360 are stronger lights. It might not look very bright but doesn't mean it won't do its job. Just adding other source of lights will help it. A lot depends on how you like it. Of course your placement to. When I had 3 it looked good and that was a 48 in by 18. When added LED was much brighter.

This is where I wish kessil had a bit more info on their site. Is 3 wides close to the water line better or 3 narrow up higher?

My 75g is 48 x 18 x 24 and 3 A150w's cover just fine. No need for extra lights...besides maybe moonlight strip.
