I bought my girlfriend a 12 gallon aquapod about 9 months ago. No HQI, just CF. My major complaint would be the filter system. Since it's built in, it is extremely difficult to maintain. There has been a major hair algae problem for about 3 months now, and I believe it's being fueled by trapped waste in the filter compartments. Other than that, it's okay for a beginner. If you've had a reef tank before, or know enough to put together your own system, I would recommend that you avoid any all-in-one. That's just my opinion, but it is a major pain not being able to easily attach a skimmer, or an overflow, or upgrade the lighting, or filtration...and coraline is impossible to clean off the plastic back panels.
