Not going to get into a debate
again, because we all know if a mind is already made up, it's not going to change unless it wants to change.
My stand is same as Dave from Vivid -- all lights are good; some corals will grow better under some lights, others, under others. I chose LEDs for our 1000 gallon system, with over $15k invested in corals right now. As Dave said in that great video (thanks Dan for the link), some corals colored up better under MH, others, under LEDs. If actual pictures aren't enough, then I don't know what is.
That being said, since Dave from Vivid is already doing an experiment with the MH vs LED, I'll start our T5 vs LED. I will not be bad mouthing a technology just because ___________ (fill in the blank).
I would strongly urge everyone to do their due diligence and research on the internet, instead of trying to get "opinions" here. Opinions are great, but you need to realize that most people base their judgements on older gen LEDs. Not to mention that lights aren't the "only" factor that affect growth and coral colors. Am I saying LEDs are better than MH or T5 in all different parts of the arena? Of course not --
"every light has it's pros and cons"
Here's one really good link I found during my research:

If you scour advancedaquarist, you'll find many many more.
As the need is pretty much here for me to start up our last bin (and go to 100% capacity), I'll try to find a 24" T5 fixture to light it with. That'll be our "experiment" bin.
