If your observation is correct then 160 is not enough for SPS. 220 to 250 seems to be a better choice

Spses directly under the led still can make it, but for those sps tat is placing away from the lightset seem cant get enough light.

What i observe is tat led lighting is shine directly down, top part of the sps is nice but some part of it will get

blocked by the top part. With the addiational of the help of T5, the overall parts of the sps will be fully shower with light.

I find sps grow well with Led + T5. So wat i think 160 or 250 dont make much of a different because all led shine straight down. happy reefing ;)

All LEDs light up 120 to 140 Deg. Very few LED has less then 100 degree of light spread.

Hence if place at correct height and space out correctly should not have the direct down

spread problem.

Ya bro tat why i place my led lightset higher a bit, but some of the more light demanding sps seem not getting

enough light, the side part of the sps browned.( esp those bigger sps coloney).

Find tat by adding t5,the side part of the sps colour up and can see the poly out all the way.

Side track a bit. My intention was to add extra 4 tube of t5.(2 front,2 behind)

I added 2 tube t5 first and observer, within ar 2 week i found tat my tank having serious aglae issue. :thumbdown:

Now the tank is stable and i stop the idea of adding extra 2 more T5 into my tank.

(Just for extra infromation to share for those who are running Led set and thinking of adding extra t5 tube,

prepare to Battle Aglae Issue.) :evil:

then can I rightfully say that leds require those optical degree lenses to aid with their spread?

Happy Reefing,
