Hello,

So far I'm your newest member :) I'm relatively new to marine keeping and have a question for you experienced marine keepers. Is it safe to start a new marine tank (using live stock, water, live coral etc from old tank) using led lighting instead of halide during day time? Thanks in advance for your help.
 
If you can verify the intensity somehow (PAR meter), then I don't see why not. I wouldn't do it unless you know for sure.

Why would you have to verify the PAR intensity? Many people use LEDs as their lighting source 24/7. Head over to nano-reef.com and look in the lighting forum. Tons of people with LED setups. I have someone over there making me one for my 3 gallon pico reef to replace my 70watt MH.
