A few things I will modify or change (more powerful water pump, smaller heater and maybe drill a few more holes to add more options) but everything seems to work as it was. The skimmer has nothing to do yet, but it seems to have a lot of settings for water and bubbles, so that's not a problem. The water MUST be filled to the level of the top fill holes or the pump will run dry. Mine took 5 pounds of sand and about 6.5 gallons with no rocks or creatures. There are no leaks as long as the water is circulating and the temperature seems to hold up wherever I've installed it, but the heater is 100W instead of the recommended 25W, so I plan to lower it just in case. I don't get to test the light, but it has 3 color modes and 4 or 5 levels of brightness, plus a timer function. The only thing I would change about the tank is the glass walls. I'm sure they're easier to clean, but I'd prefer if they were made of spacer-type plastic. Being almost all glass is good, but it's a lot harder to modify. Overall I am very impressed with what I got for the money. I'll update the review if I encounter any issues, but for now it gets 5 stars! Nevertheless 5 stars! I've added a 2nd more powerful pump and a smaller heater and so far the corals seem happy. A bit of an algae issue but turning on the skimmer seems to help, although I'll add a head for even more flow.
