    Just purchased a new LED lighting setup and wanted to show the difference between CFL Bulbs and Kessil LEDS. The Kessils look amazing compared to my old CFLs. I Posted some before and after pics above.

    Ive seen a major difference within 4 days. All my corals open as big as they can possibly get which is amazing compared to my old CFLs. Very impressed with the LEDs :)

    Careful of any bleaching that may occur to your coral as LEDs are a big change from what you had previously. Acclimate them slowly.
