I can see thru you!
so led's have been out for awhile and i know there are some of you who are blazing the trail with successful SPS reefs out there driven exclusively with LED's. Please show us your tank and share your lighting equipment along with how long you've been running LED's, depth of your tank and other specs that you think makes your tank tick. thanks

Started with LED about 18 months ago, now 100% LED for about 6 months. It's a DIY build. The tank is 105g corner pentagon, 24" high.

1 Month of growth under LEDs

1 Month of growth under LEDs

I'm new to posting on the forum but I am a big proponent of LEDs. Here are 2 pics that were taken a month apart showing growth of the same coral under LEDs.

1 ReefBrite 50/50 48" Strip
1 ReefBrite Royal Blue 48" Strip
2 DIY 35watt fixtures
3 Ecoxotic UV stunners (not sure that these are really adding anything appreciable.

Wow! I know this thread is about SPS success with LEDs, but I'd love to know what your dosing in addition to your LED photoperiod. Your colors are amazing! I like Brazilians. I married one in Sao Paulo 13yrs ago.
