Poll on LEDS

I have not made the jump to LED. I like the color that my ATI T5 fixture puts out. I do wish I had the shimmer of MH and LED give off. I am thinking of making the switch to LED but my tank is 72" long and 36" deep. So I will need some high Par LED that will not brake the bank.
I have the AI Vegas and love them. But you would need 3-4 units to cover your tank. Not sure if your willing to spend that. I did get a great deal on one of my units buying it used.
I was thinking of trying out BlueLine 150w Phantom Dimmable 5 Color LED Firture w/ Wireless Remote Control http://www.championlighting.com/product.php?productid=73007&cat=0&page=1
I think it will cover a wide spectrum of color than just blue and white LED give off.

At that price I would suggest paying the extra $50-70 and go with phathoms like sunny has.. Just the customer service alone is worth the extra money. And if you are getting multiple units you may be able to get a better deal.
I think he has Fathom LED
Lol that's what I meant!!! F ph same difference
I am currently using a Chinese Full Spectrum LED Fixture on top of my Frag Tank. I was suppose to use them on the 90 but that never happened. I bought two for $350 off ebay, doing wonders for colors and growth on all my corals since I had them. The Cherry Charms that I won at Darrens are finally getting in the colors you would expect from it.
I am considering a different route for my new build though, I will either go with the same fixture or probably AI Vegas or Kessils A360W.

Im wondering too, why there was a sudden explosion of AI Sols in the market
I replaced my 3 mh 250w pendants w/ 3 AI sol blue fixtures. Saved myself 500w of power usage. I had t5's already, so I use them. Also my tank is wide, so having t5's gives me much better coverage.
Mine are from reefbreeders, multi color spectrum and programmable. Reasons.....1) cost, 2) programmable, 3) corals are growing absolutely fine and the colors look great. I know people talk lighting like they do high end cars, but light wavelength and photons are the same no matter what the emitter! Right now technology is in the infancy ( cell phones the size of lunch pails). In a few years you and I will be amazed at what comes with your LEDs.
