Thanks. This is a thin branched SPS and can be kind of sensitive compared to some other acros. It does grow quite fast once settled in. There are so many variables to consider besides lighting, it's impossible to know how it would do under LED in your system. In general I am not an LED fan for SPS. I would suggest finding an LED user with a nice pearlberry growing. Pay attention to their spectrum, nutrient level, and bioload, and try to mimic it.

That's double that size of the frag that I started with a year ago. Once it's settled in and happy, that sucker can grow quick!

Here is my frag. It was in real bad shape when I got it in December. Coloring up now and encrusting very nicely

 

[Hockeynut]
