    And now you have me looking at LED lighting for my 65g tank back in Utah. Sigh! I don't even get to see the tank but once or twice a year. I currently run 2 150w MH and 2 t5s and its about time to change out the bulbs. Crazy?

    lol

    LED is expensive. It's nice. But probably too pricey to buy it for a tank you only see once a year IMO.

    If it's what you want to do however then how about you come out every 3 months and look at my tank and put an LED light on that. It would be 4 times the viewing!

    What I should do (but won't) is get another tank and put horsies in it!

    Does anybody know anything about a shift in spectrum over time on LEDs?
    I realize they have a really long lifespan - but for how long do they maintain that initial (desirable) spectrum?

    Here are some interesting graphs I found in regards to SOL White versus SOL Blue
