Even if you have to put some more money into it, it is still a killer deal.
For 100 bucks you could easily supplement with blue LEDs to make the corals and fish happier. Before replacing my lighting with my own custom lights I placed a xenia colony in which at least doubled in size over the course of a month and a half on the standard lighting. It was also enough to maintain a large hammer coral.

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 http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/i...&productId=357 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. http://premiumaquatics.com/aquatic-s...s/EX-8010.html Last edited by NanoHuman; 09-10-2010 at 07:32 PM. Reason: additions
