Awesome looking fish. A nice Azul is the last fish I would like to acquire for my collection before calling it quits. Wes obtained three nice ones for me, but through no fault of his own, none of them made it to me successfully.
Regarding your lighting issues, I initially had $1000's in Ecotech Radion LED lights on my 1000g tank and absolutely hated them. Each LED cast its own little dot on my aquascaping, making it look like a Christmas tree in the tank whenever they were on. I now have 1000 watts of T5HO lighting and couldn't be happier. I hope you have the same outcome with your switch back to tubes.
