Led upgrade worth it?

[NYCTURBO]

I have a red sea Max 130 that i am going to set up soon been reading a lot on the led upgrade kits availible for it there are so many kits out there hard to tell which one is best or if I should upgrade at all? From the florecent bulbs any advice would be appreciated I want to have fish and corals?

I went from the stock PC bulbs on my BioCube to a RapidLED kit that never really worked for me because I couldn't control it as I wanted to. Went to an AI Sol last month and the growth i've noticed on my corals already is noticeable. Depends on what you want and the funds for it

The main thing is I want coral groth and the colors to come out I haven't givein the stock lights a try that come with the red sea max are they good enough? I would rather change them now if they aren't before I set it up.

Talk to Metrokat, she has a sps dominant Red Sea Max 130d
This is one of her corals - amazing for such a small tank.

I just went and looked at her threads her tank is amazing great rock work I did see in one of her pics she is using led lights. Does anyone on the site build custom cabinets real furniture looking stands for the read sea max 130 the stand that comes with the tank is not that great looking.
