Same reasoning as Denny, the lights were amazing for my SPS and zoas but just are not tolerating when it comes to LPS. Even @ an intensity of 35% bleaching still occurred.

Not you too!!

Wow, bleaching at 35% ??? I keep hearing of people having to run their LEDs at 50% or lower. I understand why this may be necessary, but it still boggles my mind, especially after all the threads about, "is there enough light in LEDs ??" Clearly, even in the cheapest LEDs there must be enough light ? I guess I don't understand why LEDs are bleaching corals when halides crank out more wattage ? This may not be the best place to discuss that though. Maybe I'll ask it in the "is there enough light in LEDs" thread.
