After only having it a couple of hours, I think it's awesome. I don't think I'm going to have any heat issues with the tank at all. The highest I've seen the temp within the unit is 88 Degrees but it isn't powered up to 100% either since it's on auto mode. I need Sun and Mon (I'm not working) to really see how it will look and operate over the course of the day to give more detailed thoughts. I think it's neat that the 2 sets of 2 fans operate independently and turn on and off and/or faster/slower depending on what's needed. It appears that they've definately made it as energy efficient as possible.
OTHER THAN THE NEW LIGHT: I've still got the diatom filter hooked up. I don't run it continuously because I've heard that you can actually strip your water with it (don't know if that's true). But this sugar sand I got is SOOOO dusty. Everytime the new diamond gobies come out and start sifting sand it clouds the entire tank. Looking on the bright side, it means I have good circulation. I'm going to pick up a filter sock for the sump as well to help take the dust out.
