looks nice, but will that light support anything?

I cannot say anything about this particular tank, however, I have owned 2 cadlight tanks. Both are very sturdy and have no complaints about the build quality. Eddie out at Cadlights is great to work with and answered all my questions very quickly. Sorry I dont have any info on that particular tank, but I hope this helps a little. The tank looks really cool!

Very nice little tank....I have always had good feedback on CADLIGHTS.

I'm not sure if you could keep too much at .1 watt per led (65 leds).... It seems pretty low. The normal wattage for "reef keeping" leds are 3 watts per led..
So the lights over this thing, are like two powerbrites over an 8 gallon... (not that strong) I would say softies/zoas and some lps.
Also do you know the white/blue ratio of the lights?
Im not saying that the ^^ is correct. But, thats what I gather from it...

I love the look of that though

it's hard to say since it's so small, but conventional led wisdom states 3watt leds are the way to go. For what it's worth, those look like 5mm, and 5mm leds put out .15 to .3 lummes usually there are some that put out more and those could well be those. However, a 3 watt putts out 300 lummes. So the math says 1 3 watt would be better that all those 5mm assuming the more conventional output.

I think it looks pretty cool, I don't know if I would pay that price though

The reviews on nano-reef and other sights all give it the thumbs up. If your into the diy thing the fluval EDGE tanks look amazeing if there done right.
