Hrmmm. If all that space and electric can be saved, it seems like a good Idea. So for meowzer your thread has been very informative. Really does not look all that hard, but do you happen to know what the Kelvin on the whites and blues that you are using are, or are they just listed by color for...

So are you saying that all LED will replace t5s and MH if you have the right color/Light range with the LEDs? I see that they use about 1/2 of the electric that MH does. So does this mean that if i felt the need, I could do a DYI with a mixture of 8, 10, and 15k along with moon? Or do the LEDs...

Ok I am all out of the loop, so I am looking for some info on the new LED lighting. Here is my situation. I have a 150g tank with a 55g sump on it. It is mainly FOWLR, but I have some coral, anemones, and also mushrooms. Tanks has been up and running now for 6 years. Currently I use MH and t5s...

What Kelvin do you use for the best coral growth and Tank look. (prettiness)
