All of my equipment is pretty old, and I'm just now reading through all the posts about LED lighting.
Are these now considered better than MH? I only have a couple of soft corals and my anemone, but I have been thinking about a new light fixture and I was just going to get another MH. I like to keep my options open in case I want to get more corals or something.
From what I'm reading, the LED is suitable for anything, even the highest lighting needs. The pictures seem to show a blue colored light, which is what I like. So, big question--is LED better than MH? I would have to get a pre-made unit--I'm not building anything.
Lastly, remind me again about the spectrum of bulbs--the higher numbers, like 20K, are the more blue lights, right? This last bulb I got seems awfully yellow to me. It was a 14K.
Thanks!
