lighting is important, LEDs just have better benefits than others. Those benefits include cost savings through replacements and energy, you save energy, and they have less heat output.

Quality lighting is important for corals and macro algae to grow. A lot of people use metal halide but I like LED much better...

Here is a nice tank that has MH on one side and LED on the other for comparison.......

The correct lighting system is one of the most important fish tank accessories. The tank would look dull without it.
