Good length, very shallow width, good bookshelf tank.
Filter looks exactly the same as the old one, definitely enough filtration.
LED looks shoddy. Will need to find a good replacement..
Not sure where to set it up yet, probably where the Betta spec / bowl are presently on one of the shelves. Definitely will be a shrimp tank, but what shrimp? Stay tuned.
You can use the legs to go from the black overflow box to the outside edge if you want topless. It's a little bit of a stretch, but I think it would work.
I currently have mine resting on the lid with the brackets. It also sets fine without the brackets.
I set it up today and on second thought, really like the sleek low profile fixture, it's going to be tough to find something to replace it. Better bet may be to change the LEDs inside.

It's a temporary fix, I'm moving in a few months (I know I shouldn't even be setting this up now but.. can't help myself).
Ignore the mud tornado, the light is no longer leveled due to the cheap plastic screw which stripped (only took off the light twice). Either both should be metal or both should be plastic, design flaw.
Now I have to hunt for a metal screw for a light that will most likely break in 2 months. Worth $75? I don't know. Still cheaper than an ADA and has a unique footprint.
Light burning out already... 2 bulbs out after a total of.. 8 hours run time
Kind of upsetting, wish they'd just lower the tank by another $10 and not sell the light. Debating whether or not to even ask for a replacement (it'll still be crappy and will just burnout again)
Still not very bright, the tank is deeper than the previous Spec, and the light doesn't seem any brighter. We shall see if star grass grows, technically it should just from ambient light.
