Has anyone ever heard of Ecoray 60 LED light fixtures or used one? If so are they any good?    http://ecorayled.com/Ecoray60/Home.html

I've seen them a few times. Fish 4 U has one on a tank so you can see it in action. They have the same pros and cons of any led system.

I have used these on several people's tanks they work pretty well. I can get them in for those interested. Pm me for pricing!

Speaking of pros and cons, what are they?  I only hear good things about LEDs aside from initial cost.

Less broad spectrum light. SPS still has trouble maintaining good color under LED's along with some chalice and other LPS corals.

Are LEDs recommend or shunned by Reef keepers now days?  Whats the consensus?

So here is the thing I want a Ritteri Anemone (Heteractis Magnificent Sea Anemone). Every where I read these things need extreme intense lighting. I keep seeing that these things will climb to the highest point in a reef aquarium and will park themselves within inches of a 400W MH. So can an LED light fixture one produce enought light to even compete with a 400W MH? Two even if the LED light produces enough light to compete with a 400W MH would it produce the right type of light or would it have similar results as some of the corals are having now?
 
Thank you!

Arthur. If you want something that intense either look up reefbrite or you will need to build your own fixture. I would suggest doing the DIY route. But that's more my personal opinion because I don't really know ecoray that well

For a Ritteri I would bet with a nice T5 fixture you could keep one. It would have to be high end like ATI or Giessman but I think that could work. I just think a 400w MH bulb would almost bake your tank.

I would just look at the fixtures at the reef fest first, then decide.

I'm pretty sure Reef Koi is going to be selling some really cheap LED fixtures at the reef fest this year also.
What?! You pooped in the refrigerator, and ate the entire wheel of cheese?! I'm not even mad.... That's actually amazing!
