LED's SUCK PROVE ME WRONG!

[frag apple]

i'd also like to add that even with heat in Australia during summer being on average 30-40 degrees Celsius and running mh before moving to t5's I never run a chiller and still don't! tanks sat at 27-28 all day without cooling!

Using 4 ai sol blue on 180 everything is growing awesome

 

[lnevo]

I'm happy with my LEDs.

So far so good with my Mitras 6200

Got more pics Seth?

 

[mellotang]

Trying to post them, but I'm also a on extended liquid lunch hour in NYC

I swear it's real it looks fake though. I'm soaked on the potential of they purple/gold one. Blue is legit too. All frags from PW and they are all Australian, I'm running high light, super clean system, GFO, carbon, high alkalinity, lots of food for both the fish and coral. I shut off majority f green ad red in the light spectrum except for a 2 hr peak around noon. Lots of violet and blue

 

[mellotang]

Lol, I just wish I could get my rocks to turn purple

After i change back to MH , even my rocks grow .lol:lol2:

I don't know what you guys are doing wrong on your tanks but my corals take off under my leds. I'm not the best photographer as Jackson know haha but anyone who saw my tank in person would tell you how it looks most my corals are less then 4 months old

 

[duke62]

Another

Another one

I can show 20 more growth pics but you get the idea

 

[duke62]

Last pic and it's a real bad Pic but just showing how fast my acros start to grow. Got this piece 2 weeks ago fresh cut as you can see how it's starting to encrust

If you're keeping colors on wild Aussie stuff then something is right. I'm glad you are having success with that light. I was worried initially

Are those SPS photos? I can't quite tell from the poor pic quality LMAO!!!:lol2:

 

[duke62]

Hahaha just showing growth pics my camera skills are just as good as my theoretical physicist skills lmao. Most wild pieces are growing with their original color when they were under 400w halides but not going to lie I have a few that lost color but it might be my placement. I have some mid level and sure they need some more light

 

[jackson6745]

It's good that you're holding color on the aussie pieces. If it makes you feel any better, even the 400w don't hold color on some wild stuff. I can't keep color on those fat aussi mills for anything.

 

[duke62]

Well I'll see in a few weeks what happens with color. I'm trying 2 new things. Got a bio pellet reactor Setup with the return for it going to skimmer and dosing microbacter 7 into the inlet and i just started using fuel by aqua vitro. Hopefully this will speed up growth a bit and color up some wild pieces.
