I may have missed something (not reading all the led's are great or garbage) but when did Mrhasan turn from the biggest led fan to having to debate how crappy they are in led threads.

-On to the original topic I have noticed the power savings just by looking at my power bills over the last couple years. My bill is down compared to when I ran my 90gal with MH over it vs the 225 I'm running with 2 massive return pumps (albeit dc) a huge increase in skimmer and the 4 mp40's I run now instead of 2 mp10's. I didn't go into full research mode like Steven did (he's way smarter than I am) but looking over my power bills for a similar 6 month period comparing the 2 setups.

Will the savings pay for my 3 Mitras? No bloody way lol (not in my lifetime considering all the money I lost trying all the other fixtures ) That being said I would ever go back to T5 or halides.

There is nothing in this hobby that will save you money outside of shutting down and staring at the blank wall where your tank used to sit.
