Swapped back to T5's over here as well :neutral:.
Same reasoning as Denny, the lights were amazing for my SPS and zoas but just are not tolerating when it comes to LPS. Even @ an intensity of 35% bleaching still occurred.

Did you guys all had a secret meeting? And decide to drop led at the same time!? :-)

Nope just saw what MJC was pack'n and decided to roll with it. I have no clue what's going on. People just want to dust off the old car and take it for a spin.

Not sure what the LPS bleaching is all about, I've never bleached anything in my tank :redface:

I am still riding my led bike! I just added the T5 bells, safely night Light and a fender :-)

Yeah gunna see what happens with ecotech and ghl now that were all off the led train. Better pull your shares before the plummet

Not you too!!

Wow, bleaching at 35% ??? I keep hearing of people having to run their LEDs at 50% or lower. I understand why this may be necessary, but it still boggles my mind, especially after all the threads about, "is there enough light in LEDs ??" Clearly, even in the cheapest LEDs there must be enough light ? I guess I don't understand why LEDs are bleaching corals when halides crank out more wattage ? This may not be the best place to discuss that though. Maybe I'll ask it in the "is there enough light in LEDs" thread.

depending on what optics they use, LEDs can be a cannon !!:D

I run 6 AI Sol over my tank at 100% and everything does well. Even the LPS on the bottom (euphylia sp.)

don't mean to hijack - but I've been having a hell of a time with my LPS with Vertex Illuminas over a 18" deep tank at 52% - overall health is suffering, and considered going back to my T5's with some ATI's. My nano tank on the other hand with a PAR33 bulb is a life saver. Any corals that are diminishing in health I drop in there, and overnight they transform.
