That’s why I’m going back to halides with LED bars. I’m all about hybrid approaches in the hobby.I’m listening to the new reefbum video right now. They talk a bit about uv and the benefits aren’t really proven yet. Would like to know peoples opinion. I’m veering on the side of it doesn’t really matter much. Too many good tanks without it.
Apparently Chris at aci switched to leds and had a problem with his torch coral. He claims it had something to do with not enough uv to kill some black algae or whatever. Maybe it’s true or maybe it’s just from moving the coral to a new lighting system and it not liking it.
Either way I’m just interested in the best lighting options.
