Does LED matter in T5 hybrid lighting?

[bobnicaragua]

Does it matter at all which LEDs you run between 4 rows of T5?

I'm wondering if Reef Brites, with their limited spectrum, will grow and color up SPS just as well as Kessils or Radions?

No opinions on hybrid lighting for sps?

if ur having SPS dont use reef brite
just get some hydras or radions
if u want cheap
get halide T5 hybrid
how big is ur tank (dimensions and gallonage)
or some hydras/radions no diffuser
althought reef brites (MIGHT) work if u get enough of em with T5 aquatic life and u choose less dmanding SPS

Right now I have a 4 t5s and 4 Kessil ae80s 6" off the water in my 3' x 18" sps dominant tank.

I'm building a new tank 6' x 18". The lights will need to be higher because of the canopy design. So, a80s won't cut it.

If they did do you think they'd be an 1/8th of the price or less? Heh.
