Rich, I talked to Chris about the T5 thing, and I added a single fiji purple bulb to see if it made a difference. Visually, none at all. I couldn't tell if it was on or off. I suppose enough of them and you might see a difference. Not sure it affects color either, the colors lacking pop are simply lacking from the full spectrum intensity of the MH.

An example is that piece I got at the frag swap that Chris brought over from Tim...the pink and blue milli. It was probably the "popiest" coral in the tank until I added the LED and instantly, the colors blended. Not so much washed out, but the difference between pink and blue weren't as distinct. Still a nice piece, but not what it was under MH.

But overall, the difference in colors only happened at light change over. What they were then is still what they are today, no changes due to the LED.

Which for me is huge, I was really scared they would all brown out.
