For the money its good, only thing is that it has one reflector instead of individual reflectors.

 

Could I still keep a good variety with this until I decided to spend more? Clam?

 

I would recommend saving up for a nice light now instead of wasting money on one light and then replacing it with a better light later It'll save you $$$

 

Well the setup I'm suppose to pickup tomorrow only has t12 light so I don't think will be good for my current corals

 

It's 3 x 96 w t12 retro how good is that?

 

What type of corals are you keeping?

 

I have never heard of people using t12 lighting for a reef tank. I guess its possible that they do, but I've never heard of it.

I have actually used a fishneedit light and an odyssea. Both work and seem to be good quality, but I can't really recommend them. They don't have the individual reflectors, and I have to keep most of my sps on frag racks at all times. Just about to change over to LED's today ;D We'll see how it goes!

 

Right now I have torch, frogspawn, hammer, zoas, shrooms, ricordia, candy cane I think that's all do far. Yeah the lady was planning on anemone and clown tank with it. IDK
