HALIDES vs LEDs vs T5s: SPS PICTURES ONLY!

A. grandis · Feb 9, 2018

Ok, please don't see this as "hate thread"!
It's actually to bring us all together.
SPS keepers please call your friends and post the BEST OF THE BEST here!!
PICTURES ONLY!! No talking, please.
Put the proof for all to see!
I'm gonna stay out of this one 'cause I'm just a zoa keeper anyways...
I would expect this thread to have LOTS of LED shots and much less of T5s and MHs, but I could be wrong...
You know what they say... "a picture is worth a thousand words".
Lets have fun!

Still a young tank but colors are coming on strong

No special expensive aquaculture frags. Just simple easy stuff. All T5HO. I’ve used all 3 major forms of light. T5HO just seems to work best for me.

Two Kessil A360WEs and two 54w T5s (ATI Blue+). Shots taken under Kessil illumination only (60% color/~70% intensity).

My led system. Seriously if you think lights are holding you back then take a look at fundamentals like chemistry because all decent fixtures be it led t5 or mh are easy mode. I can grow great sps under any lighting and so can anyone else.

No but I don't remember the lineage either; sourced from a local reefer in my area.

Not my pic but Mike Biggar posted this pic today on FB. It's a pic of the Walt Disney with the coral grown in the same exact tank but under different lighting. One was under t5's and the other under his diy led.

5 Kessil 160we's

Leds with T5s, leds alone, MH alone, MH’s with leds, T5s alone...have done them all.
MH’s with Leds have given me the best results. Here are pics of my tanks throughout the years. Cheers
