Well, we can preach about it, but we're still all hypocrites, if we keep fish/corals, drive cars, ride a bus, live in houses, and surf the internet. If we're really serious, we should go look for a cave to live in.

I think the only way to save humanity for the long term is have less of it. And it will happen one way or the other.... Maybe an asteroid....

Meanwhile, I will keep enjoying my fish/corals, and all the other good things in life for myself and my family. I didn't get to choose my life and time, but will make the most of what I have.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

If you want LED to save money, then its not a good choice.

If you want LED for its versatility, less heat issue and coolness, then LED is awesome!

Remember, LED is like iphone; new stuffs are bound to come out every 6 or 7 months.

Right about the same time you'll be shelling out $$$ to buy new T5 bulbs.
Just saying.

Sell the tank...invest some money on big piles of napkins to whip the tears of sadness and get a beta tank! I promise...it would be the best investment EVER! Even better than LEDs
