LEDs really are nice but I am confused as to how an LED fixture can have so much trouble.

Its seems if corals are at one level in the tank all is well but as soon as you get sps at varying depth its tougher to keep color. What burns SPS at the top, browns out lower colonies yet the ones in the middle do well.

I find it odd that MH and T5HO doesnt have this happen like with LED.

If the Mytras or Hydras were as reliable as a good ol 250 HWI with a Phoenix bulb and a reef brite for actinic or an 8 bulb TEK I would be sold. But as it is on my next build I will look for 2x 250W HQI pendants or an 8 bulb T5HO fixture. I dont want to spend big money on LED just to end up with the problems most people are having.

On a side not I was on RC classifieds the other night. Only 1 or 2 MH or T5 fixtures but there sure was alot of LED fixtures for sale on there. Could alot more people be having these problems?

i would love to see the results as i find them dim to the eye but obviously they bleach lps pretty easily if at a higher intensity.
