I am not really up to speed on the latest and greatest on the LED scene, but I am fairly certain that if you go with a unit that does not include more than the standard blue and white color combo ( even if you can control them) you will not be happy in an SPS dominated tank like yours. Unless some fuller spectrum light is added somehow ( supplement with T-5's? ) Blue/white combo units have a "flat" and IMO unsatisfying look for SPS systems. The coral will be perfectly happy-- that is not an issue. I'm just not sure you will be. FYI, I'm far from the only hardcore SPS guy that feels this way.

I feel the same way. After a month of use, I sold off my Aquaillumination LED system. It seemed that my purples slowly getting bluer, among other differences from going from MH to LED.

IMO having the RGY LED's integrated is nice for that full-bodied appearance of the light.

Randy,
i am with you , thats why its so hard for me to make this switch.. I love radiums and been using them for years, i think they one of the best bulbs out there ( and i have try a lot:)
but, IMo LED is future in they whole lighting industry. I am leanning towards genesis unit with profilux module this way i can control lights in anyways i like. they do offer RGB as well.

Mike the Sfiligoi Genesis LED are great from what i read from there site looks real good .Did you look into the MaxSpect Mazarra Series LED Modules . My leds i have are missing that color like fiji purple so i would go with led & T5 mix , It will be a perfect combo.
