Different beautiful . Mind you, I've tested my tank parameters once in the last year and a half. Calcium was at 280. My corals are still colourful and still growing. I have no idea what my phosphate or nitrates are at. I still have decent polyp extension, and decent colours. I really don't maintain my tank other than glass and water changes. When I did the change oner from MHs to LEDs, it was definitely different, but now I definitely like them. Like Brad says, the pros far outweigh the cons. I used to evaporate 5 gals a day. I have venting to the outside to take care of it, but all that is turned off now. I don't remember the last time I looked at the temperature of the tank cause that's not even a concern anymore. With halides, I used to look at the highs and lows cause of the temp. fluctuations. And not worrying about bulb changes? Who can argue that?
