    Turn the unit upside-down and remove the splash guard. You should see 4 reflectors, each one wrapped partially around each tube. If it only has a single reflector, it will be flat behind all the tubes; in that case, I wouldn't recommend using it for SPS corals. However, with quality bulbs, you should still be fine with most everything else.

    I checked my fixture and it does not have individual reflectors.

    In that case, refer back to my original post with coral suggestions :) That is until you upgrade in the future! ;D
