[4age]

Hi guys

im going from led lights back to an ati 6 x 54w t5 unit..anything I should consider doing during the change? don't want to end up killing sps coz I made a change too quickly

I would just watch how long the light cycle is and keep an eye on the coral and adjust accordingly.

ok cool..gona run from 6hours a day and see how they do

I'm kind of jealous of you! I decided to invest on another led module for better light spread, but if that doesn't improve things I'll be right behind you

Use them both you will like the result and color..but start high with the fixture then bring it down slowly

I'm actually using both the leds and my T5s now. Good results so far. I have the leds in front and the T5s in the back directly over the highest part of my rockwork and most of my sps.

I am using both. I have 3 Hydra 52 running down the center and a ATI Actinic across the front and a Blue Plus across the back (60" 80 watt). So far I like the results.

Considering taking actinic out and replacing with blue+.Then moving coral+ to front and moving another coral+ to back

I use blue+ and purple+ myself,LEDs for actinics.
