I'm new to this hobby and this statement alarms me. Are LED's bad?




Tonapah

The cheaper ones may not have the spectrum needed to keep a coral's colors (acans in particular tend to tuen red under LEDs), and when turned up too high they are quite capable of burning corals.

I hear that the Radions and one or two others (can't remember which) tend to grow corals as well as T5s.

I like this thread :)
More?
I tried a couple coral rescues, but my tank and I were still too new. :/
My scooter dragonet was a rescue, though. Poor thing had an extremely pinched tummy, but she's bulked up and happy now ♡

I helped out some freshwater fish in the past, too. A set of gold barbs were horribly thin, so I fattened and rehomed them. :)

Here is my newest rescue a severely neglected blue stag from the LFS. Cut me two chunks for dirt cheap!
