    NO one suggest me to use LED Because it's not good enough for Lps

    So, T5 x6 is better

    I think it is compared to LED. A good T5HO unit will take care of lighting down to the sand. They are much more powerful than people think. Just make sure you buy a fixture with individual reflectors and cooling fans. Buy top of the line bulbs like ATI, Geisemann, UVL, KZ and GE.

    A 6 bulb T5HO fixture will get plenty of light to the sand for a LPS tank. I have a 4 bulb fixture on my 19" high tank and my open brain has ejected almost all of its zooxanthellae. All of my corals are holding the color the had when I purchased them and growing very well.
