if you had been using MH or T5, and then put your LEDs at 100%, you *will* kill all your corals.

Victoly, *Will* seems pretty convinced. Now I'm not claiming to be an expert just sharing my experience, but I recently switched from MH to LED and did no acclimation at all. 6 weeks later my coral is still doing fine. No bleaching at all. I have zoas, gonoporia, mushrooms, candy canes and torches and a few other unidentified pieces. Am I lucky or do I just have less sensitive animals?

I tried, failed miserably, tried again, failed less miserably, then bought one. Never looked back. Seems you can't get them as compact as the commercially sold ones can. At least I can't. The concept is simple, just getting the right amount of air flow vs water flow is the trick.

Great Thread! Thanks for sharing!
