I think every single compare x to y LED thread has ended up this way. There are just too many things based on personal preference that a consensus will never be reached on this topic. But it always turns into a lively discussion for everyone's reading pleasure!

here is my tank journal it started off with sunpod 250w halide which is similiar to what it was in the 90g.

youll have to browse through the journal to see what the differences are , personally compared to halides with this tank the radions arnt quite as good as my halide was , spread wise the tank is darker , things at the bottom are just as happy as they were with the halides but the stuff on top of the tank is growing much faster since the switch.

i started at 30% and 10-12" above water level( i dont reccommend 8" )

im now comfortably at 60% peak during the day.

the switch over was a little hard on my thin fleshed corals like chalices, favias and some of my sps .

heres the link to my journal:

and some top downs taken with my phone:
