Here are mine. I have two T5s too that I run for a few hours a day but they arent on for these pics.
I was recently trying to reset one of my top rocks and had a catastrophic rock crash. Everything collapsed into the middle and broke most of my sps, but heres whats left. |

Had to do some major re arranging and basically started from scratch.On a 2 year old tank that takes it toll on the sps, but slowly they are on the mend.
No particular reason for the change except for marine velvet getting into my tank and causing some havoc in my fish livestock. Decided to go barebootm and took 60% of my live rock out as we speak the tank is taking shape again. The lighting system is excellent IMO. My new arrangement includes some new LED's plus my aquaillumination, I'll snap some new pics of the light pendant.

Can I play?
Lit by two KR-93S and (F-B) ATI Blue+, KZ Fiji Purple, LEDs, ATI Blue+, ATI Aquablue Corals are all wild caught so they all almost lost their coloration the first month or two then slowly coloring up after then. FTS Some Closeups im still hoping for more coloration so im constantly tweaking my light intensities (KR93s are controllable as far as how intense blues and whites are). hope you liked me livestocks!

Well well well...for those who bash LED's (claiming LED's cant colour SPS corals as good as other lighting technologies) these photos clearly demonstrate that the newer LED units such as those from Acan Lighting (AKA EcoLamps KR92+KR93) and others are very capable of SPS growth and providing very good coral colouration.
Many thanks to those whp have posted thier tank photos. The hobby needs more of you with successful LED reef setups to come forward and showcase your reef. This will most certainly progress the reefkeeping world. I believe in under 2 years time we will have LED units whose capability will be as good as current T5 and Metal halide combined. I myself have fitted 24 Cree High Power LED's into an ATI Sunpower 6x24watt unit to run almost 60 watts of LED and 120watts of T5. Here is my build thread for my tank: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...8#post18068168 Although it is a hybrid of T5 + LED, I am seeing very good results already. I have used all the available reef lighting technologies over the past 10 years and decided on T5+LED as the current best. Keep on showing off your LED run reef tanks! |

Is this overkill? Not trying to judge, just looking at a lot of examples to determine spread. This tank is amazing, but that is a lot of light.

These colors are looking good, but how is the growth? Meaning, for those of you that have had them on there for at least 6 months or more, how does the growth compare to T5's and HQI at this point? Are they about the same, more or less to the traditional lighting systems? Of course water quality and other major factors need to be considered, but with all other things being equal, how do they compare? Do you have any before and after pictures to gauge the growth accurately over time under the LEDs?
