I would love to go LED's. But on a system as large as mine it doesn't make financial sense to go LED...yet. Ive seen a few local setups with LED's, and they looked great. The growth I have seen is incredible!
I think corals can grow under almost any lighting, provided that the spectrum and intensity requirements are met. I believe reefers rank lighting much higher than it should be. Light would be fourth or fifth on my list of things that make a successful reef system. Nutrient control would be first, water flow second, stability, and then lighting.
I would attribute much of LED negativity and bashing to inferior lighting units and/or inexperienced reefers. But, this is all conjecture on my part as I have yet to personally experience LED's. I heard the same complaints and talk when I went to 100% T5 years ago. As Sanjay recently stated, a photon is a photon.
I think a year is fair. A progress journal/pictures will be better.What do you consider time? 14 months here.

This guy doesnt seem to have any issues: this same link is in another thread,but I think it applies here.. Second Quarter of 2011. Evan Tsang (bonbon) - Hong Kong, China - zeovit.com
... but i run the Triple Threat. MH, T5, LED
beautiful setup and tank. great corals but i don't see that RICH colors. zeovit seems to pale the colors and make the sps look "pastel" ish
i got me a sps dominant tank but i run the Triple Threat. MH, T5, LED
That's the issue with zeovit, not LEDs.

Hey... I thought I had the triple thread. MH, VHO, and LED.
