So it's been 2 months since I put a red tabling acro and a unknown blue/white acro in my DIY LED 7.5g cube. I haven't been dosing anything, just water changes at the moment, so the growth rates might have been better with better water quality. Here are the results I've had so far.

I've also had other coral show growth. My birdsnest has grown to twice the size from when I got it, and my digi has encrusted well onto the plug. The neon green candy canes have split, there are probably twice as many than when I got it. My maxima clam also seems to like the LED's. I've ended up putting a lot of my coral in this tank because the growth rates are far better than in my 55g, which has a 4 bulb t5 tek light with 3 blue plus and a special blue. I will actually be switching out the t5's on the 55g with LED's as soon as possible.
I will update as I get more progress.
