Beginner 29 Gallon Saltwater

[samue202]

Hey everybody,

I have the chance to purchase the following for $100 and I was wondering if it was a good deal and worth it.
-29 gallon tank
-Marine Land LED day/off/night mode hood
-Maxi-Jet powerhead
-AquaClear 30 Filter
-Heater
-16lbs Reef Salt
-Large net
-Electronic thermometer
-Flake Food, Pellets, Dried Shrimp, Tablets
-Salt Gauge
-Cheap Test Strips
-Algae Scrubber
-10oz Trace Elements
-4 1/2oz Smart Zyme
-Large Siphon
-5 2-3in PVC pipe chunks for hiding/propping up live rock
-live sand 40 pounds, clean
-3 Live Rocks 10lbs
-1 lg branch looking live rock 2lbs
-5 unique small live rock, 5lbs
-Copepods thriving in tank

I have a few other questions as well. Will I be able to do some beginner corals with a light like this and if so what types do you recommend? I've been keeping freshwater fish for years but I'm ready to make the plunge into saltwater! Any other salt water tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

is it the marineland reef led?

I'd say the 40 lbs of live sand and 10lbs of live rock is about $60-70 alone so it's a pretty good deal. Lights are expensive, you get the salt, heater, net, thermometer, food, kits,siphon,power head, and filter? Hmm well if you buy it and don't like it, sell it for $200 lol

Sounds like a good deal to me just the light it self even if its not a reef light costs a good penny and it should be able to support shrooms , maybe some polyps , Kenya tree , corals the don't need much light

I'm able to get this light pretty cheap from a local seller,
Coralife 08605 Lunar Aqualight T5 High Output Quad Lamp

Anyone have experience with it or that can attest to its ability with corals?
