Well the coverage was inadequate for my tanks width and there were spots where some coral werent getting enough light. Overall the spectrum was good and most of my coral looked good but i still wasnt overly impressed. Since the switch my corals have never looked better. T5's have given me the best results by far and have done so within the shortest amount of time.
