I have a DX version and set up another DX for a friend. Mine has been modified to add chaeto and LR to the back, and soon I'll be getting some easy corals. There's 36 W of lighting, so its plenty powerful. My buddy actually took one bulb out as he's not planning to go reef.
I love it and highly recommend it. Its compact, easy to set up, and easy to keep up.
The only negatives I have with it are:
1. Bow front and rounded corners can't be magfloated.
2. Location of overflow. Its a little too low, so if you don't want to see the air/water line on the front of the tank, you have to overfill it a little. I can/will probably cut it to fix this.
3. You're basically limited to 2 fish. If you want more, spend the extra $$ and get the 24 gallon.
