Wow what a difference. LED's are very impressive. Much more vivid colors.

Looks great! If you have any sensitive corals in there you might want to lower your values a touch. I dropped mine every couple of weeks and things are only getting better (I was bleaching coraline at %80). I'm now down to %50 at peak, seems to be a good balance (light runs alot cooler too). It does look a touch darker, but I'm starting to think that is the tradeoff with LED technology.

No real sensitive corals, if anything most of my coral looked much better, Duncan's where out more, zoa's really looked nice as did my Corky finger, colt coral and my many mushroom.

I really like the look of the tank ATM, all my blues still at 100% and the middle row of CW XPG'S on at 10% ish.



I really think it looks so much better in person then in the pics ( my photo skills are shyte ).
