Anyone in the area using LED's to light their aquariums?
LED's

Drone has them on his. He has a DIY on the smaller tank and a commercial set on his big tank. I saw them when I stopped by his place over the weekend. The commercial ones weren't what I expected to see. The housing for the LED's was smaller than I thought they would be. I'm sure he'll talk about them when he sees this.

Yes, I am running them on mine. I like everything about my DIY ones except for the fact that one of them got knocked into my tank by ?????? and it no longer works.
The growth of red corals under my DIY's was great but most blues went drab or brown. When I put my new MaxSpects on, the reds went down hill and the blues colored up.
I think it must be the differences in the narrow bandwidth of colorspectrums. The cree seem to be the best from reports but I'm thinking of using a combination of maxspect and the DIY leds in the maxspect housing to try to combine the best of both spectrums.
