Do you guys find your LEDS make the tank look dull campared to T5 and MH.

Nope, just finished reading the same results from Radion and Vertex owners. It's a LED thing, not an AI thing. One guy is going to try the new Mitras, but we'll see. Although even if those do the job, the price puts them out of my reach.

No, not really dull, and I love the color and shimmer, just that some corals, not all, have lost some color.

Yes, I'm starting to regret it. The LED have lots of positives, just not in the SPS color department Don't get me wrong, most of my corals are great, just not as great as they have been under Radiums!

I'm not buying that if I can adjust my radions to make my yellow tang red I'm sure I can make the corrals pop

Sorry, while the Radion is a fantastic looking unit, it's not really any better than a Sol. Perhaps a bit different in spread vs. penetration, but that's it. Radion, SOL, Vega, Vertex, all reported to have the same deficiencies in SPS color production. Maybe the Mitras will make up for that, maybe not. LED have a lot of great features, like I said, but they do not match a 400w Radium MH.

further on this, it isn't about making it look a certain color, it's about it being a certain color. My pink and blue milli was pink with blue, even out of the tank in daylight. Now it's a blue milli, no pink. you can blast all the red at it you want, and maybe make it (and the tang) look red or pink, but it isn't

Perhaps that was a bad example, I meant that I'm sure with the right program you could advice the spectrum you desire. Its just very time consuming to do this so most people don't.

But, we digress, this isn't a thread about justifying the extra money spent, just looking for someone that's had luck returning colors lost with LED, regardless of brand.
