For the 1st 6 months I had my tank running I had a 150 watt halide in the middle of the tank and I had a green stag sitting on the sand bed right below it and it grew really fast. Tank depth in 24". Mind you this was 14K bulbs.

If you're planning on having stony corals (esp. SPS), you'd be best with a 3x250 W MH arrangement + your T5HO actinic suppliment.

That being said, I love my LED's. I don't have algae problems with them. The corals love them. They don't heat up the tank. I can ramp up and down the output and control the white/purple colour mix. They've low power requirements. The only thing that one wouldn't like about them is the cost.

I've a green stag and it grows like a weed. They're famous for that.
