LED's for my 15g nano

Not really, for two reasons. First, they just don't put down enough PAR to be useful. Think about it. Reef specific LED setups use LEDs of 1W or higher. After you divide the number of LEDs into the wattage of that unit, each LED runs at 1/16W. Not nearly enough power. Second, they have a much higher failure rate than true high power LEDs.
