Here are a few of my sps frags after a few months ....

The pink monti has grown allot but seems darker ...

The birdnest has also darkened and grown slightly thicker ...

Red cap has grown allot in a month but ... the growth seems to be different than the rest of the frag and is lighter in color :wildone:

Just added the green mili

So far looks like some sps look better under leds and some just seem to get slightly darker ...

Evolution Z....very nice pics/corals. Exclusively with LEDs? You have only 1 Maxspect fixture (160W) over the 4' tank or 2?

Well done. Correct me if I am wrong but you have your leds hanging up high from the ceiling?

So I'm thinking about dropping my 6 bulb t5 for 2 AI Hydras. Any one have any testament to the ability of Hydra to grow and color up sps? my sticks now are growing well and the color has just started to take off. Also I have 2 clams on the sand bed as well.

My only concern with that is I'm pretty sure he's running 52's as opposed to regular Hydras, so his lights are significantly more powerful than the regular Hydras
