SPS with LED Success?

9supratt4 · Feb 9, 2018

Who here is having success keeping SPS using LED lights? I'm thinking about setting up a dedicated SPS grow out tank and was thinking 250W 14K MH's, but would love to save on electric. I want good quick growth while keeping colors vibrant.

Is anyone here having success with LED's? If so, show some pics!!

I ran my tank for 5 years with only LED. Will do it again. T5 and MH are just too much maintenance and they emit a LOT of heat.

@Sunny I didn't realize your tank was all LED. Which did you use?

2 years AI Sol Blues and 3 years Fathom LED. Here are some shots.

We run a combo of LED and T5's and the sps grow like weeds at this point LOL.

I am running Kessils LED and my SPS are doing ok. I can't say if the growth is slower than would be with T5s/MHs.
