Heya!
I have a shallow 1m D x 2m W x 50cm H tank. I have 4x R420R 16,000 LED units. They are pretty cool lights and completely silent.
But they are really, really purple. They wash out any of the brighter colours: orange, pink, red, green. I noticed when I transferred some pink zoanthids from the LED tank to a tank with T5's the pink was soooooo much brighter. Also when the lights are at 1% at night and I look with a torch (white light) all the colours are amazing.
Are there any LED units that really do bring out the reds and greens? I know some units have a couple of red and green LEDs in the set up but do they really work? I can't seem to find any before/after pictures - except for one where the guy went back to MH - and the tank really did look way better with MH instead of the 16,000 R420Rs.
Argh.....
