LED vs T5

[1MP3R1AL]

I have been logging growth with a single Kessil 360WE LED light (92% COLOR / 55% WHITE), and my 6 bulb T5 / dual nano box LED fixture (BLUE+, ACTINIC, CORAL+, BLUE+, PURPLE+, BLUE+ [LED BLUE: 30% WHITE: 20%] ). When I started this my current tank was set up 8 months.

Tank stats have not fluctuated much from: ℉ 78.0 : S 1.026 : Ca 455 : KH 8.4 : Mg 1460

Here is my journey.

12.2.14 (Kessil 360WE)

12.9.14 (Kessil 360WE)

12.18.14 (Kessil 360WE)

12.28.14 (Kessil 360WE)

1.4.15 (Kessil 360WE)

1.16.15 (Kessil 360WE)

(2.1.15) Switched light fixture from Kessil to T5/LED.

2.15.15 (T5/LED)

2.25.15 (T5/LED)

3.4.15 (T5/LED)

3.11.15 (T5/LED)

Is it just me or does the color look better when it was under the Kessil?

Also, growth rate for colonies vs when it was smaller will be very different. Nice job documenting it though. Looks good

Yeah, still good. You can't really compare those 2 anyway. Nice documentation though!
