I have used a couple different LED's while in the hobby. Why does it seem I have the best results with the Chinese black boxes? I currently have 2 tanks set up side by side, one with the T5 Hybrid & A360x's (I just switched to Kessil from XR15g4) and the other tank has the black boxes. The tank with the Black boxes is thriving, the polyp extension and colors are so much better than the other tank. Is there more to this than just the lighting? I wanted to get other peoples experiences with similar lighting and if they have had great luck with the cheap lights over the more expensive lights? Could it be all a "name brand" thing? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Just an FYI, I run both tanks exactly the same or very close as far as all my parameters.
