    Ok, so here it goes....I am still not 100% sold on LED lighting in the long run. Yes, the lighting will keep corals alive and even allow them to thrive for a period of time, but how are they in the long run...

    Here is my question, i am currently running 2x400 Halides, currently converting to 2x175 on our main coral tank.The tanks is a 72bowed The tank includes mostly softies as well as a LTA(has been thriving for 4 years).

    If I were to decide to go with LED lighting what setup would I need?
