From what I remember reading some time ago about LED lighting is that they will keep corals alive but at a reduced rate of growth. Apparently they lack the UVA/UVB radiation output that the corals get from the sun and halide lighting and it is a factor in growth rates.

Lack of UV is not really an issue for coral growth but may play a role of some sort in colouration. The jury is still out on that but I can tell you my corals are growing well and looking good under LEDs. I have other concerns about this fixture but that has all been discussed ad nauseum in other threads so I won't go into it here again.
What are your tank dimensions? |
