Zoas and LED's

[Obsessed]

Well I have been running LED's for about 6 months now and am happy to say zoas love the lighting! They grow quickly and the color is great! The only complaint I have is the polyps grow rather small under direct light, but in the shade they stay pretty large. Anyway, here are a few pics

You got some nice looking stuff there. Glad to see that the LED's are working out well for you! I just recently ordered some myself.

The only bad thing about LED's is no camera can really capture the amazing colors that these small lights have the ability to produce.

I made mine using 33 Cree XR-E LED's, got all my info from nano reef. Here are some more pics.

Looking good Josh! Getting a nice collection going too!

I just put a few LED strips over my 24 Aquapod as an experiment, and man, those things can produce some crazy colors! I used 1 strip of the 403nm uv's, and let me tell you that is a cool moon light!

Been running 44 Cree LEDs over my polyp tank since June, and they absolutely love it. After getting some SPS growing that do poorly under my halides I've committed to replace my 400w and 250w DE with all LEDs. Woohoo! Got all my recent info from Nanoreef as well. They seem to be way ahead of all the other forums on this.
