    We have a guy in our local club that just finished a DIY LED fixture... Looks pretty cool but he has not had it up long enough to see how it runs, nor has he tested the PAR...
    I have a link if you need.

    well the website has a side by side view of how they look, like half his tank has a MH fixture and the other has the LED lighting and u can SEE the difference split right down the middle, it was pretty cool, he also has visual comparison of growth rates etc. but idk i was just looking into leds and that came up randomly, seems like alot of money for something you have to build urself
