I'm thinking of starting a small LPS tank. I'm considering using a small coralife aqualight. Anyone had any experience with these lights? Any feedback would be great.

That's what I started with.  In a small tank it was OK.  I had softies and some LPS's.  However, I quickly decided I wanted MH lighting.  Now my coralife light is on my refugium.

I have a MH pendant on my 10g sps tank right now, so I'm not going to put any SPS in this new tank. Maybe I should just get a bigger tank and put the LPS at the bottom.

I had the 2x65watt aqualight and really enjoyed it until i went with metal halides. The LPS did very well.

I have a 20g tank and recently purchased this corallife halide. It is a 150w hqi and comes with a 20k de bulb. It is great because I don't have a canopy and didn't want to hang the light from the ceiling. They are a bit over priced IMO so search around. I ended up spending $300 for mine. But now I shouldn't have a problem keeping anything in this tank.
