there life span are shorter than the others.... i truly believe if your going all leds for a display light, it should contain red, green, and blue..... this will allow you to adjust the kelvin temperature without losing spectrum....

Thats my thinking too, I've just never seen it with my own eyes. I kind of want to add what I would call a "color strip" that has some red and green LEDs on it. Maybe do like 6 greens and 6 reds alternating over 48in.
Green will do absolutely nothing for you. Most white light sources, be they T5, MH, or LED, all contain decent amounts of green to begin with. Red can add some warmth, but can also lead to a lot of distraction in the tank, with very intense red shimmer lines. If you want to use red LEDs, they should be run at a very low current, and with a dimmable driver.
For anyone looking to add more red tones to the tank, you should do so by using warmer white LEDs. It's a much more subtle effect that isn't nearly as distracting.
Ummm, OK? My tank is covered end to end with about 250 led's, there IS nowhere to move them, they are 2" apart at the most. Not sure what you're basing the statement on anyway?Reds grow algae /potplants and help a freshwater planted tank.
Some purple leds can add some pop to your corals.
Sps under leds should always have a light mover with them....
You will have problems with color and growth with the beam effect with leds unless you move the light with a mover.
IT is so simple and cheap to add one yet no one seems to get it yet.
