250 MH or LED

Shore Tang · 10/27/2010, 10:36 PM

I would like to get a 250 MH and supplement with t5s. I really like the look of these bulbs. On the other hand I like the thought of lower heat and electricity. Not sure if I like the coloration of the LEDs. Please give me your opinions or thoughts on this matter. Will people post pics of their led tanks please. It would be very helpful.

I have 10K MH supplemented by Guiesman T5s. They works well, but if I had it to do from scratch now I'd go with quality LEDs. You'll spend a little more up front but the savings will more than make up for the difference. I'd want a unit that allowed me to change the color rendition somehow to suit my taste.
