What sps or coral u have under leds ? Lookin to stock my tank i run ai sols love these lights !
 
I have the same lights for about 1yr. Love the colors that can be achieved. I just did water change. When everything opens up, I'll take a photo.
 
IMO, SPS and several LPS (frogspawn, candy canes, hammer, plates...), leathers, ricordoas grow pretty well under quality LEDs. ZOAs do ok. Acans and chalice do better in T5s or Metal Halides.

My Monti caps don't seem to like LED's to much. They got much paler even with a slow acclimation of my Hydra 52's.

The light source doesn't matter - any coral can look equally good under any source of light as long as it is of the proper wavelength and intensity. Photons are photons are photons whether they are coming from a fluorescent tube or diode.

My green cap looks far better under the radion than it did under my T5s, but that has nothing to do with the light itself.

ALL corals can look amazing under LED and all corals can look amazing under any kind of light.

Don't believe me that Acans and Chalices look as good under LED as T5? Take a look a UniqueCorals pictures on their site of chalices and acans - they are sitting under Kessil LEDs. Some in barely any light at all.
