    It all depends what corals you want to keep, are you looking for softies or SPS?

    Hopefully someone can chime in that knows more about that specific fixture.

    Looks like a cheap knock-off of the Marineland LED, which we all know is less than stellar. It would probably be ok for mushrooms and some leathers, but I wouldn't attempt anything that requires serious light, including an anemone.

    I'd suggest you take a look at Reef Breeders. That's the best deal you're going to find on true reef lighting IMO. You can search the forums here for reviews from members who own them.

    I may be wrong but it doesnt say how many watts. Yea they could be 3 watt leds but they could be running at 1 watt

    If they run at 3W, then that may actually be a decent "starter" fixture. I have a 48" long 20x3W fixture over my 55 (48" long tank) and it is fine for softies and LPS. Not SPS though. I am likely going to upgrade to (2) 16" Reefbreeder fixtures in the future ;)
