My new 100g Cadlight Artisan II set up...

I repositioned the mounting of both Kessils to the side end of the tank. They looked little better, but less light to the tank. All lighting equipment still looked quite busy and not aesthetically to the top of the tank. The shimmering is so unreal. I am thinking about getting one more Kessil and take down the T5. With three A350W Kessils for a 48" long tank. These Kessils should provide enough light for a mixed reef tank, any thoughts.

I took down the ATI t5 tonite to try out just the Kessil leds. It is so much more openness to the top of the tank and also shows the sexiness of the rimless Cadlights tank. The shimmering of these two Kessils even more pronounce without the t5...will see how things are responding to the Kessils for the next few weeks or even months.

Adding another one would be better for a longer tank like yours. Adding two more would be awesome. No shadow for your sticks. You get more coverage by having the lights higher up off the water like you have them now but I think you may be sacrificing par for the pieces midway to lower in the tank. I run two 360 on a 24" cube and have them 4-5" off the water and they ramp up to 90%+ during peak. No problem growing sticks. 
I must confessed that I have been a compulsive buyer lately. I have bought a few cool things for my tank: RKE, two AI Hydras, AI Director, and two mp40w's. And yes, I could not made up my mind and changed my lighting again, lol.
Here are a couple of picture for my new led units in actions.
