All the coral in my tank have been grown exclusively with LEDs.

I am testing out T5HO supplements to my leds as well due to the shading is sure but would really like to see if the ap700 is really fixing the shading issue that it claims.

As far as I am concerned yes. It's still a pinpoint light source however it is improved, and better that Radion Pro per testing by BRS

If one is referring to the overall number of new tanks, that's likely true. If one is discussing tanks intended for primarily SPS, I have my doubts. Simply looking through this forum suggests that an awful lot of new tanks are going T5HO/LED combos.

A poll was conducted in the SPS forum not to long ago on how we light our tank. LED only was the largest group at 28.2%, followed by LED/T-5 combo at 25.6%. Not sure how scientific or accurate the poll was. If it is representative then it look like LED has more traction than people believe.

i have read that many have had more trouble with leds and acros and that it is more difficult in getting them to grow quickly and with rich color... Not saying its impossible, but the there seems to be more success with mh and t5. (me included). There is also the issue with shadowing and the amount of leds needed to get good coverage.

That being said. For softies, lps and non-acro sps, the leds do well.
