New lights! New corals!

[Saltwater reef]

Just got in some new LED lights. But the question is can corals that go with metal halides work with the LED's? They say they can but anyone else own LED lights?

I've heard some great things about LEDs. I ordered some for my 2.5 gallon. However metal halides are powerful so LEDs may not quite match up.

Is that a LED growth panel? How many watts per LED?

The right LEDs can be much stronger than metal halides. I have a feeling, and I think it's the same feeling AQ does, that your new fixture is not the right one for this application.

It's not a growth panel but it's the way I wanted it. Not long.

Why so? If I might ask?
