I realize I've been out of the hobby for a while, about 12 years, and I know this post is similarto led vs metal halides.

I just wanted to get feedback from people who own these LEDs.

1) If they liked the results I.e., growth and color or coral
2) if they liked the way the light makes their tank look
3) do they work correctly if the tank has a lid

I only ask because purchasing three or more are a substantial investment.

Regards,

Bginop

PS

Pics of them in action would be very appreciated

Had one for about a year and change. Replaced once for defect, then the new unit had a higher output on one side than the other, then I sold it and put back my MH. Good growth, but easily bleached my corals above 70%. Coral color was easy to falsley enhance by playing with the program but the actual coral color was not as good as with MH. IME
