Has anyone read the recently released Ecotech Marine "Coral Lab" whitepaper? Its a really good 13 page (with lots of pictures) case study in reef keeping using LED lights and compares results to T5's and metal halides.

http://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Ecotech_CoralLab_WP1.pdf

The paper goes over 3 lighting programs with suggestions that were developed by a large wholesaler out of Canada - "Reef Wholesale". I think it's well worth a read. I'm just started using the LPS Tank scheduled.

I'm curious what others thing.

I saved the white paper for future reading, but from what I did read, it is very interesting. I personally have had great results under T5 and LED. My next tank will be a combination of both.

I hear a lot about people mixing LED and T5's now and having really good success. Kind of the new thing to do with lights now.

That's a great read, thanks for the heads up. I used mixed LED and T5 over my DT and have had good growth and great colors.
