Why do you want to change? Just for fun?

Lack of UV is not really an issue for coral growth but may play a role of some sort in colouration. The jury is still out on that but I can tell you my corals are growing well and looking good under LEDs. I have other concerns about this fixture but that has all been discussed ad nauseum in other threads so I won't go into it here again.

What are your tank dimensions?

One tank is 48x24x 21deep with 2 400W lighting and one is 48x24x16 deep with 1 250w lighting

This wouldn't be my first pick for a LED fixture. Seems like it is all marketing hype and LFS talk. Personally, I'm not that impressed.

I really like the Pacific Sun fixtures.
