I have a LED 28g JBJ, but I obtained my old lights from from 60 gallon tank and I want to experiment with getting more coloring of my SPS. I am aware that water chemistry has some to do with it, but I have nice blues and pastel oranges, but red and green in the SPSs fade over time. Anyway, I am looking for bulb advice... The metal halide is 250watt, mogul base driven by a Icecap 250 electronic ballast of about 10 years old and also mounted in this reflector is 4 T12 24" long 75watt VHOs driven by a Icecap 430-006 ballast. Icecap told me that these ballast will fire any bulb on the market today. Again, I am very pleased with the growth and blue colors in my SPS, but I am looking to get a more intense colors, I think the LEDs that came with the JBJ are not quite the spectrum to achieve this...I was thinking about a Phoenix 14k, two URI super actinics and two URI actinics...What are your thoughts?
Thanks.
 
I have seem some really nice ORA sps in nano Elios tanks lit with the Elios LED system. I think LED is today what T5 was a few years ago. I am thinking about switching from MH to LED 250watt HM equivalent.
