sps and leds

[MikeOB]

anyone running just leds and having luck with growth.

I don't see what the problem would be. I'm going to add some SPS soon under my AI's. I'll report back when I see how things go!

yes lots of lots of growth,used to work with MH but had to put it away because the growth wasnt as much and more money on electricity.

ptr13, got any before and after pics of the halide to LED transition? All I hear is that MH gives better growth and color than LED and it tires me after a while... I think T5, LED, and MH all give you great results because lighting is only one contributing factor.

I started adding SPS corals about 3-4 months ago, all are growing with no problems.

I got a decent growth but the color is somewhat not too poping for my taste under 2 par 38
