Anybody have any experience with these?
It has a standard 24 hour cycle that it comes with, would that be good for soft corals.

No, but 10-12 hours of light is generally fine for soft corals.

The cycle IF it is like the fw version has a limited " peak" period.
So the dli is relatively low.
Most would customize it
Light is roughly 10w/ft afaict so size/ depth of tank will matter.
Fw schedule (again no idea if it applies or is current)
