Successful by what definition? Or just do the owners "like" the aquarium?
My (6+ year) experience has been excellent. Solidly built, well engineered, quality components. Can grow any type of reef you can imagine.
Maintenance is fairly easy. Being a rear sump AIO, it lacks some of the flexibility of an under cabinet sump style tank. But all types of add on equipment & mods are still possible. It can even be outfitted with an under cabinet sump/refugium if you like.
It can be set up & a cycle started in a day without ordering custom tanks, drilling, plumbing & other stuff and you can avoid the mistakes often made DIY. (But I understand that aspect is actually more fun than keeping the animals themselves for some folks) I like the minimalistic clean look & the hood design is really useful.
With all that said my next tank upgrade will be an under cabinet style, perhaps the Red Sea Reefer series.

I'm in love with mine.. I custom modded the hood to have two Hydra 26HDs and an auto topper.
I leave the hood fans on 24/7 and I have a house AC unit so my tank never really goes past 27-28 degrees Celsius.
The Skimmer is GREAT (With an auto topper!!!) otherwise its a hassle and a bit tricky having to maintain your water level.
It's beautifully made too - I love it.
