yes i do think they are only used as supliments. you use them along with your real lights. LED lightning for aquariums right now is really really high so I would just go with T-5s

I Have Three Of Them On My 90 Gal.i Love Them.i Have The White And Actinics.but I Only Use 240 Watt Power Compact.but Yes They Are Just A Supplemment But Corals Really Do Flourish Under Them.i Will Eventually Get 3 More.but Led Lighting In The Near Future Will Be The Best Lighting Option,but It Is Expensive.if You Dont Have Any Get Them.

I aggre about LED being the best opion. I tried adding the price for every little LED, wich each is about a $1 to 4, It came out to be aroun 200 without the computer controller.
