be warned with the older models. the ballast will more then likely go out on it and to be honest the reflector quality isn't all that great IME. if it's the stock reflector i would replace it with a german reflector (correct me if i'm wrong with the reflector type)

Im not sure on what the reflector it has on now. But the descriptions says that it comes with the German reflector.

With that output power. What am I able to keep under it?

Pretty much anything with the right placement and upgraded reflector.High demanding corals being placed the highest. Mid light corals being in the middle and least being on sand bed and lower parts of the rocks. You can tell if it's the stock reflector when it's one solid piece and not individual reflectors for each bulb.

Hmmmm I can't entirely remember to be honest. you'll have to do a lil research and looking around and asking to see what you can get to put in the fixture that will fit. I would advise a tek light reflector but they wont fit.
