Who has successfully converted over from T5 or halides to LED?

They sure are happy! Very nice!

The AI setups let you dial down and adjust.... i tthink mosy people run them between 30% and 40% output. The bigger SB Slimline with the built-in timer do not; they eventually ramp up to full power. They were likely too much for my daughter's tank with only 18" depth. I should have tried the smaller Slimline (same physical size but only 12 LEDs instead of 1 on her tank. Oh well....

I run a Evolution 120watt 20k and its not dimmable. I just raised the light during acclimating the corals. And lower it slowly weekly by a inch or so.

i am doing the conversion on several tanks. leds are much brighter and am having algae blooms but the coral are loving it. also the temps are muck easier to control.

Are these leds the one you posted about ?? I think they we're the t8 or 12 replacement bulb leds I am speaking. Could the plant spectrum be part of the reason for the blooms ?? Just curious?

algae blooms are calming down now. the increase in light power is the cause.
