Love the way that tank looks.Leds with T5s, leds alone, MH alone, MH’s with leds, T5s alone...have done them all.
MH’s with Leds have given me the best results. Here are pics of my tanks throughout the years. Cheers

Ever tried the de-capsulated eggs?I used just cheep reefbreeders value black boxes at 1st then AI hydras 26s.
For feeding I use various size appropriate foods. Baby brine shimp is the most studied and cheapest option to drastically enhance growth. BRS reef chilli was also featured in a study and statically enhanced growth. I also feed small size golden pearls.
You know LEDs don't work, right?If you look in my signature I won the acro growout contest here on reef2reef with LEDs and It was open to all lighting types. So plenty fast. Although that being said i have found lighting is a minor when comes to growth with feeding being the real key.
Ime thin branches are from flow not light.
Edit. Added couple contest pics for anyone who can't see link.

I absolutely feel your pain. I CLOBBERED a perfectly healthy SPS tank early on and have been very cautious. I own Radion G4 Pros and Hydra 52 HDs and have had some amazing growth from "test subjects" but I'm loth to give up my MH or T5s. Just scored some diffusers for the G4 Pros and I'm hopeful Ill get great results with no weirdness. I really believe that the problem many people run into with LEDs starts with a lack of a good par meter that can deal with LEDs and hot spots from the LEDs / lenses. I go by WWC all of the time and I can tell you they are having amazing results with them. But they are not a foot over the tank like many common fixtures. They are at least a couple of feet up - better distribution I assume.I’ve been so tempted to give LEDs another go. Evidence is overwhelmingly obvious that they get the job done. But my last attempt was such a painful crash and burn its hard to fix what isn’t broken. T5ho is just so easy to use.
Stunning tank. Tell us about your T5 rig please.It's 2018 and still, some reefers have doubt in LEDs. [emoji4]
However, I think LEDs with t5s supplement is the best.
G3 pros with t5s supplement.
G4 pros
Very nice indeed.250w radiums/ati blue+/reefbrite led
"The trifecta"
All LED.
