I agree with Matt. Unless you are going with a fish only tank, you will want better lighting for a reef setup. _________ Just tryin to recreate God's perfection in a glass bowl. 20 Gallon Reef W/Live Rock, mated pair of Maroon Clowns, Softies, 110 watts PC 10,000k lighting, and skimmer.  |

If by RO you mean regular Output, LPS and SPS corals, clams, and anemones will need MH lighting for the best results.

I bought that exact light from the same outfit. Everything works fine ans it doesent seem to too cheezy a fixture. But as you see in my signature that I updated I am no longer using it on the tank that I bought it for. I went to 250 watt halides. Man I knew the halides were bright but I didnt know it woukd look like 12 noon sunshine on my tank. I just hooked them up 2 days ago.....whew bright. If you do buy the light be sure you peel off the protective seal over the reflector b4 installing the bulbes. You can barely see it on there and I almost didnt notice it and turned them on thit the plastec on. Let me know if you want more info on this light.
