Im another LED user who switched back to t5 about a year ago. Im actually considering using my ati sunpower on a frag tank im going to setup and going back to metal halide on my display. I have an old pfo m80 ballast so if i can find a used pfo se pendant i will be using a radium bulb. So if anyone knows anyone with a pfo pendant lying around...m

I think I do. Let me check. Might not be PFO, but similar design that has wiring for PFO ballast.

I switched on my little 25 gallon cube. Had a sol super blue and it did okay, zoas grew, and stuff did stuff.

Changed over to a 4 bulb T5 setup and everything just exploded. Zoa colonies that were sprouting one polyp a month had 3 new buds in a week.

Now it could have been my ignorance about led's, not saying I had it tuned perfect or blah blah blah, but it's just easier. Lights come on, lights go off, constant light and spectrum all over the tank. No percentages or ramping. It almost took the fun out of it tinkering with the led's.
To add some pop and a little shimmer I still have some royal blues but glad I switched. Just easier.
