My issue is that I see hobbyist struggle and become disheartened and drop out of the hobby. They spend their hard earned money on fancy LED lights and can not find success. They work hard and getting their tank " prefect" and by all accounts they have everything right. People post that LED's are growing corals "with supplemental" T5's not is not a success that is a failure. New hobbyist spend hours and you see them post threads asking for help day in and day out. We are not yet at the plug and grow stage that we need to be at with LED's. This is not a Oh LED's are bad it's a call to action on the manufactures part to get LED's to where a new hobbyist doesn't' need to struggle and drop out of the hobby because they feel stupid that they can not get success. We are all here wanting to have a successful reef tank. That is the ultimate goal and everyone needs to work together to get everyone to that point . It will only make the hobby better.
My frag tank (36x36x12 with a center overflow) runs Radion Pro's (two 30's and two 15's) and my show tank (elos 160XL) runs an old school (but awesome!) Sfiligoi 2x400 halide with 4 t5's (48 inch). Honestly....they both work....and work VERY well. Anyone who issnt having luck with LED's is using the wrong LED system....or has poor parameters in their tank/pests/or some other issue. I can say without a doubt that radions CAN produce beautiful corals.
That's my point, all LEDs grow corals.
If your having problems, look at everything else first. Lighting should be last on the trouble shooting tree.
