Oh, and I do have a LED lit tank... its a DIY LED system that I made before the solaris came out. Im not impressed.

Hahnmeister,
As you failed to post any of your 'DIY' LED specifics I can't comment as to the output of your LEDs. However, as I DO have an actual Solaris and have firsthand experience with both Lux measurements and coral behavior/characteristics before and after usage I CAN comment as to it's efficacy. You on the otherhand have to rely on hearsay. See my post as linked above for Lux readings versus a good quality 14K 250W MH bulb. Unless you have first hand experience or have similarly tested the unit and have factual information I don't see how you can add to this post. Too often on this site people spout opinion as if it's fact and then this 'opinion' is spread and somehow becomes 'fact' in the minds of the masses.
Happy Reefing,
