    Good for softies, leathers and low light LPS (hammers and such). I have the 39 Watt version and loved it. I would recommend changing out the bulbs to higher quality bulbs when the stock ones wear out.

    Glad you like it. I have had one on my 55 for about a month and couldn't be happier. Your tank looks good. I like the rockscaping, lots of nice caves and swim-throughs.
