What is better MH lights or LED

SaltyMan · Dec 21, 2012

I have a new 165g reef tank with 400w MH light and thinking of going to LED what do you think?

LED pendants are gonna cost you over $3,000 stick with the MH's

Think if you can afford the initial cost, not gonna be 3 grand :screwy:

you'll be very happy with the benefits of the LEDs
