Feeler: Wts mh supplies

The two 8 sided reflectors are 15x7 (lumenbright minis if i recall)
The non pictured squared reflectors (3 available soon (only 2 off right now) (lumenarc IIIs) are 19.5x9
I'd like 75 per on the ballasts and 75 per on 8 sided reflectors. 60 per on square reflectors and 60 per on radium bulbs.
Pm sent though.

I have ran both MH and LED. I recently had AI SOL's over my 125 for 2 years. I am in the process of upgrading my system to a 225 (my livestock is still in the 125) and in the upgrade I have sold my LED's and have gone back to MH. My alkalinity consumption with LED's was 1.1dKH per day. My alkalinity consumption with MH is 1.5dKH per day. I am not denying that LEDs can in fact grow and (somewhat) color coral, I just believe MH can do it better.
I was in the LED is superior boat for a long time. Probably denial to be honest. I spent a lot of money on my LED lights and at that cost I told myself they worked and were the greatest thing since synthetic salt. My tank did flourish under LED's, dont get me wrong. However since going to MH I can physically see better growth and the corals are richer in color.
Just my experience with the 2 types of lighting.

i do believe leds are great too but i think the best setup would be a 6500 k mh and the leds to blue it up hybridization best of both worlds and you wouldnt need to run the halides long maybe 3-4 hours to simulate a "noon" effect ie on at 11 off at 2 leds the rest of the time i think that there are spectums that corals use all the time and i think there are spectums that they use just a little just IMO tho
Oh, i won't argue that the mh is a "better" light. I just need to tighten the monthly financial burden and I can't handle the heat or humidity in my living room anymore. I had the 1 watt leds before and lost alot due to lack of penetration. I''m hoping what I have at least stays alive but alas, the strong shall survive. =)
