some corals loved leds , alot hated them.....at least t5 and halide can keep a larger variety of corals happier continuously.


i had the biggest trouble in particular with sps color, encrusting....chalices would bleach easily and in turn mess with the colors and patterns, some lps like scolys,symphyllias and favias would either take it or reject it.

last going off my pros were at 35% peak , and half the colors were off and still was messing with corals.

OH NOES! Not you too!
