+1. Again, I am not sure why you would even want to buy a new light...let alone an LED light.

Because we all have a severe problem and need help for the addiction

I seem to think there would be a few reasons why someone might switch to LED lighting... Maybe we should start a thread to discuss :wink:

This is a good idea! You know, because we don't talk about LEDs enough around here.. :mrgreen:

I certainly appreciate everyone's banter regarding lighting.

So a sunlight T5 4x54w should be sufficient for softies at 16" deep?

What sort of bulb configurations would you consider? I'm considering:

2x Narva Blue
1x Aquamedic 15k
1x Kz Fiji Purple

Yup it will work just fine...I would use

2 ATI Blue Plus
1 ATI Purple Plus
1 ATI Coral Plus
