Alright guys the title pretty much says it all. I set a 90 gallon bowfront up 2 years ago and used a current outter orbit lighting unit (2x150 haliade, 4 T5). Going threw some tough times, a divorce, and a money pinch I left the tank sit. These bulbs now have 2 years of use on them (I know they should be replaced after a year or less) and I need to do something with them ASAP. I am not sure if I should replace the bulbs (im assuming this will cost a few hundred dollars) or switch over to LED at this point since I will be sinking money into the lighting anyways. I am curious to hear everyones thoughts. I would like to SPS and LPS both and want to get the best color possible without going extremely crazy on the wallet. I am also curious to hear what the difference in electrictly really comes to if id go to LED instead of Haliade/T5
