Lighting Issue/Question

[350gt]

can you post your lighting schedule John?

[Bill S]

Back to your question about MH - you will like it a whole lot better with 3 vs. 2.

As for LEDs... I still haven't seen a MAASTard with LEDs and a packed, successful SPS tank. Have I?

You are welcome to come by my house Bill.

can you post your lighting schedule John?

I will see what I can do when I get home.

I will see what I can do when I get home.

Yeah, that would be greatly appreciated John. I would like to keep the LED's cause of the color they offer but I don't want to sacrafice my corals. I like my corals and growth.

Ya, didn't mean to go off subject but would like to see others schedules that are having some luck.....

Mi post es su post buddy. No worries. And his schedules are totally on topic. They might help me with my issue. I'm not one of those people that gets but hurt if you budge in. No worries.

It's good. Bill brings a valid point to the table in that everyone has preferences and all lights have pros and cons.

Do I get the same growth from my LEDs that I got from t-5? No, but the coral does grow. I am not a big fragger anyway and it is not something I enjoy doing. Am I happy with my LEDs? Yes.

If you do run MH I would run 3 vs 2 because of the bracing even if you had to drop the wattag on each light.

Yeah. I'm not a huge fragger either. But I enjoy seeing the corals grow like they do under the MH's. wish they did that well under LED's. I know my red planets growth has slowed like crazy.

But thank you John for the input. I was kind of leaning towards the 3 light setup for even spread and a 175w in the middle would be fitting cause that is where my taller rock structures are.
