    thanks for the input binford, i really do like the LEDS and i know in my mind that is the way i want to go but in the back of my head sits the few corals i cant get to grow so that is why i am thinking t5's

    if i had a par meter i would for sure test it, do you have one i can borrow?

    also, how many leds do you recommend judging that the tank will probably only be 7" deep and the coral about 4" under the water surface. tank size 24 x 12. i can graph it out but i really dont want to spend a ton i want to see if i can get by with 12-15 leds.
