Once again you are stating your opinion as fact.... the fact is light photons/energy/radiation is all the same no matter the source as long as they are there. I was a big fan of a certain MH lamp so I matched a Phoenix 14K lamp extremely close when building my custom DIY LED array and feel it not only meets but exceeds its light quality. Saying MH or any other light source including LED's "Is the only one that works" is simply misspoken, you still need to have correct spectrum + intensity + coverage. If you have met these three requirements all will work very well. Some LED's and most T5's will actually give Corals better coloring for the fact that they have a greater spread/blend of light than most any single point light source. This is also much more natural to the Corals as they receive most of their usable spectrum from Refracted Sky Light and not direct Sunlight.

Cheers, Todd
