one last thing should i use the lens it comes with

I've used one for a couple of years. It's ok--it grows lps and softies ok, but it doesn't have individual reflectors, which limits its output. Again, it seems to do fine, but whenever I have a problem with a coral, I always think "is it the lights?". If I had it to do over again, I would've just bought a better fixture to start with.

i dont use the exact same fixture but i use a 6 bulb NEP pro and yea it was my first light...hah...should have done more research........for my tank it works great....i carry zoas, sps, lps etc...chalices and all that......they grow fine, sps grow but it could be better.....if i had the chance i would probably upgrade to ATI sunpower fixture
