I have 2 tanks, one with MH and one with T5HO, and it is a striking difference how much more beautiful and happy all my corals are under MH, wereas the color and thriving is very low in under the T5HO.

I keep T5HO under my other tank because it is a nano and the heat would be hard to control, but nothing beat MH I have pink and gold paly in my MH tank that are really gorgious, bright golden yellow in the center with very saturated pink tentacles, but when ever I sell frag to people without MH the polyps always become brown. Even those with LED cannot keep the pink and gold color! I don't know what's in the MH that give them that beautiful color but they obviously because very dull and brown under any other type of light.

absolutely agree, Everything appears to glow, especially my green zoas Time to get some new frags and see what other corals look like under this light

I have thought about LED eventually but I want to run the MH train for awhile and gain some experience.
