My reef with new LEDs

[kratos1028]

So I finally got myself LEDs and switched over from the t5s I had. I really loved the t5s and I am getting the same spectrum if not better from these led fixtures. Time will only tell how the colors change or don't change. Well, I will let the pictures do the talking lol They have been on the tank for 5 days now and I know its way too soon to say but everything is looking good with the exception of some zoas closing on me but I was expecting that.

I am still playing around with the brightness. I need to play with the camera settings to get the color right.

I bought this and it was all white with just green polyps. From the pictures you can't tell but under the t5s I had before, it went from all white to a brownish color with bright purple tips and its still changing colors. Lets see how it does with the leds

Under my T5s

I like the look of both your pics of t5 and of led. There is a difference kinda hard to explain. Maybe the led is little darker? Idk. How do you like it so far?

Might seem darker because they are only at 50% right now. Working my way up. Going to bump it up another 10% tomorrow. Been close to 50% for 5 days. I tried it out at 100% and its super bright.
