Ok well ive decided to do another build but I cant make up my mind on what lighting I want to use. I will be setting up a Deep Blue 50 and I have both T5 and Led setups already on other aquariums and love both. This tank will be mostly LPS with a few SPS (Monti caps and stags). I love the look of the kessil leds and love my ATI lights also. The only thing keeping me from going straight to leds is that I want acans in this tank, and my t5 lights make my acans so much nicer! What suggestions do you have as for lighting and would you suggest multiple setups on same tank? Thanks everyone
 
Any suggestions at all?
 
T5 and led. I have an ati with reef brite attached. I like the growth and color from t5 and the look of my corals before light out with the royal blues. Really makes them pop.
 
That sounds like an awesome combo
 
Any other lighting input?
 
Why not go with the hybrid ATI T5 LED fixture? I think it is the best of both worlds.
 
I've had good luck with Ocean Revive LED keeping colors good on acans.
