I've never done a review to don't judge :p Anyways. I've always had large tanks. 75 gallons + I tried with a jbj 3 gallon, a jbj 8 gallons and both sucked since keeping parameters on check was hard. I had finally given up but when I saw how [MENTION=7103]tofucube[/MENTION] 's tank looked and after talking to him and telling me how easy it was to keep it going I decided to give it a try. But I wanted something with a little more water. So after a lot of thinking I decided to buy a 20 gallons and drill it. Thanks to my friend [MENTION=6134]Jhuneke[/MENTION] for convincing me to drill it. Anyways, I knew my buddy [MENTION=5501]ericta000[/MENTION] was hoarding an AI Prime which I convinced him to let it go lol and its been the best light I had ever used in a nano. Its so small and sleek that it has a wifi built in controller that is super easy to use. But in the back of my head I was like, what kind of coral can grow with this light?? I thought I guess I can do with a carpet nem or a RBTA with clown. But to my surprise I am able to keep softies, lps, and sps that I have recently acquired. and for $200 its just worth the money. Here are some pics to show you how awesome this light is. Even top down pics are amazing! I didn't do any white balance nor alteration. All were taking with a Samsung S5 phone. So if anyone is looking for a nano light, look no further!













and this cute blenny lol

Thinking of setting up a smaller tank did you use glass hose over flow and what type of tank did you drill ?
bought everything off eBay... the tank/stand I bought off craigslist new. The tank maker is "aquarium master". I liked it because it has black silicone.
