gonna come back unsure on lights

[gorak]

Gonna come back to salt with a tank. Gonna make a 40breeder into a reef. Couple fish but more focus on corals.(last salt was just fowlr)

Not sure on lights. I love how leds look but thinking t5 may be better for corals as the leds are just coming out for he salt applications.

Thoughts?

I have LEDs on my biocube and love them! The corals love them, they have a crazy shimmering effect, don't use electricity and the bulbs last almost forever! Instead of losing their intensity as they age like other bulbs, they remain extremely bright until it just dies. I've had mine a few years now and they're still just as bright as always.

Do you notice the same growth under them asyou would with t5 or natural light?

I've never personally used T5's but I've used metal halides and their growth is about the same. Maybe a little better

What brand/ model LEDs do you have?

It's the rapid led retrofit kit. Fits right into my biocube hood
