A healthy reef is a matter of perspective.

With any AIO you are ready to start something, but how healthy and great it is is a matter of the users opinion and what you want to keep in the tank.

I was not happy with the capabilities, and modifying it was more fun than a hassle.

The fact remains that the blue spectrum is the most important in reef life, and it is weak in this tank. 4 poorly placed 600mA LEDs don't cut it. Not to mention the appearance also suffers.

If I didn't want to build my own LED fixture I would have just supplemented with something like

15" will fit in the hood, though I suspect you would have to do a bit of modifications. The Exotic strips would also do just fine.
