I just set mine up, but at the store they told me I could use it for corals (the arm came with 1 band of led's and then there is space on the arm to add 2 additional led strips) I plan on putting corals in this tank, but I dont think it will be there for a little while as I just added the water last weekend. I think that the light sits a couple of inches from the top of the tank (i think about 4-5 inches)

The EcoPico LED Light Arm when additional strips are added to it will provide more than enough light to grow corals. I have 2 White & Blue strips and an all blue strip for moonlight on my daughter's Skimz Ibox. It is SUPER bright! I threw in a photosynthetic Gorgonian and a bunch of Pink Zoas and Green Zoas, and they are all doing exceptionally well. SPS may be even possible as the white LEDs are 12K and over such a small footprint. I haven't tried any SPS frags in there yet though.
