I looked at all the options and did a lot of research when building my setup. Although panoramas and the stunner strips are enticing, by the time you buy all of the parts needed and time spent on rigging it up, you most likely could have purchased a much higher quality fixture that can support ALL types of corals. I think that I ended up spending around a $150 to put mine together. To each their own, but just throwing out there what I came across when building my setup. Do a google search for Fluval Spec V Reef, there are lots of examples of others who have successfully built and used these tanks.
