Kessil & coral colors.

[toddmau5]

OK, I know this topic has been beaten to death. Broke back as a zombie and beaten to death again. Not really looking to debate MH vs T5 vs LED. I know everyone swears that T5 and MH is the best way to get full spectrum light to get really colorful corals. However, I am not looking forward to the heat output or the power bill associated with having to light a 265g. (84x24x30) So I was considering running Kessil's over the beast. So my question to you is, Can you show me great coral color under kessils?

Depends what you want to keep.

All my Softies and LPS look much better under Kessil than T5.

But all my SPS loose Color with Kessil.

So for that reason I do not put any SPS in my Kessils Tanks.

All SPS go under T5HO.

Planning to keep a fairly mixed reef. I tend to lean more towards lps, other then my monti obsession
