I'm using the Taotronic led fixtures, 2 of them over my 70gal. Growing all kinds of lps, a few sps, have an anemone, and they're still doing awesome. Only had them for about 4 months

I agree 100%, i ran 1w LEDs for a few years myself, and had no problems. Sps grew on the sand bed. Always be carefull to not burn corals when first switching!I've had them on my tank for the last 2 years. Grows sps just fine even at the bottom. People have been telling me the entire time that 1 watt LEDs won't grow coral much less sps.
Ok
LEDs are now the standard for Reef Lighting...Finally
Watts do not matter...Type Does
The type of LED, its drive current and optics do matter...
briann % start???? LED Fixtures vary by over 300% PAR
A PAR or LUX Meter should be used when changing lights on an established reef.
As far as the Reef Breeder Imports, they are better or at least on PAR (Excuse the Pun) with T5s so use them.
That 1 watt...Use it till it fails which is about 1 month after the warranty...Personal experience with those who used similar...
