Hello Folks!!!

All of my LFS's use LED (Radions) in their grow tanks. I, on the otherhand, use t5 (6x80w). Some of my friends have mentioned they've had difficulty aclimating SPS corals grown on LED to T5. I have not had issues with LPS, however LPS don't have an issue with staying at the bottom of the tank for a couple of weeks. Wondering whether SPS would be ok staying at the bottom for a few days, or whether I should start them out mid tank, or maybe I'm exagerating and 6 T5 bulbs is really not a big deal? My tank is 50 cm tall.

Thanks,

Gus
