Anyone switch to LEDs yet?

[hustler]

Ive got a few sets of LED lights from my short stint with reefing and I dont want to get rid of the lights....
I love the shimmer effect and they are way better than T5s for deep tanks but im wondering if there are any drawbacks with the aro's?

I just picked up a 48 inch led set from beamswork just to test it out to see and I like it a lot better than my pc 110 watt coralife.

I don't have my aro yet, but the fish I do have look a lot better as the white is a lot cleaner white. The pc's were 10000k but I like the led's way better.

If I were to do it again I would order 2 of the 48 inch ones for my 180 as they are in my canopy which is a bit above the tank.

wow thats some cheap LEDs....
Im running 3 marineland 48" double reefs and now im not saying how much they were lol
Also have a bunch of purple and blue strips that would be useless now so Im searching for reds....

I believe the beamworks ones are based off of the marineland led's but can't say for sure as I have never seen the marineland ones.

I am in BC you need to ship it, beside my new tank is 8' x 7' so I need some reseach to see which like will cover the most.
