It’s a great all in one, but could use some modifications. The pump is not very strong, so the flow is very low. It needs to be more to be able to grow many corals. Zoas and mushrooms are probably the best for this tank. Mine is a mushroom only tank.
It’s really too small for any fish. Even if it does recommend some. Mostly just snails and hermits could survive in this.
If you are limited on space and just need and want a small tank without fish this is perfect. It has potential to be a good and fun tank, but I would get something bigger than the 5 gallon one if you have the space. A lot more potential.

The stock pump is high quality but opted to use it in the tank to circulate water. I put it opposite the return pump and it creates awesome flow. Even better is it is much less intrusive and noticeable than a powerhead and it was essentially free!
I used an Aquatop Np302 and the tubing from the Portrait as my return pump. The Aquatop is under the media basket sitting on its side (The sponge media holder doesn't sit all the way down on the shelf but thats not a problem) and the hose snakes under the divider and up to the outlet. This way the big tetra 50w heater I have fits in the return pump compartment with no problem. I originally wanted to get the Aqueon 600 but its a little more pricey than other small pumps and I would've had to get a new heater too because that pump and heater combo wouldn't fit in the back together.
Not a fan of the filtration sponge. I had some leftover aquarium silicon from plugging the two holes in the back and some thin plexiglass and made an in tank basket which was pretty easy but well have to see how well it works. Still waiting for the silicone to cure.
I don't have any experience with high end lights as I only used the stock light on the Portrait but I'm going to stick with the stock Evo light until I need something more powerful. Its plenty bright and penetrates to the bottom lighting up all the nooks and crannies. I plan on plenty invertebrates and softies only so I may never need to upgrade..... unless I need some programability and swanky effects like the Current USA Orbit Marine Aquarium LED Light, 18.
Nothing to complain about with this tank at all...yet

the only problem I've had with the tank is the screw that keeps your bar of LED lights straight & level. The screw is made of plastic (why??), and it strips far too easily. If anyone else needs a new screw, it's Metric size 5 x 0.80. :)
Original review:
I absolutely love my new tank!! My fish are happy in the nice current that the filtration system provides.
It’s easy to switch from daytime to nighttime lighting — just touch a small 1-inch square on the overhead light.
My pictures don’t show much of a difference (one is day light, the other is night light), but in front of the tank, you see a clear, strong 11,000K white and blue daytime light, and then the night light is a subdued blue that’s not too strong on the eyes in the evening.
This tank has fixed the issues that were present in the Fluval Edge (a tank that’s so bad, I decided to throw it out instead of resell it; I’ve had it for years, and I don’t wish that frustration on any other enthusiast).
In short: it’s the best small, saltwater tank on the market!

A pretty neat "all in one" setup, but flawed in a few ways. The return pump is way under powered. The common fix for this is swapping in the cobalt mj606 pump, but this is currently unavailable on Amazon and other large retailers... looks to be discontinued. Secondly they have a relief cut a few inches from the bottom to insure the pump can get water, but i find the pump mainly pulls water thru here completely bypassing the media in chamber one. I used superglue and a piece of plastic cup to seal it off, others have used silicone.
Other than that, its a great little setup.

A la hora de la limpieza, el filtro, que es una gran esponja, se saca muy fácil y se limpia sin tener que vaciar el acuario. Este filtro y la bomba van en un lateral del acuario, como en un compartimento separado pero comunicado por una rejilla en la parte superior por la que los restos de comida que queden en superficie se van filtrando. El agua dura limpia bastante tiempo, sobre unos dos meses sin necesidad de realizar una limpieza en profundidad.
Das Becken selber ist nicht anders als die Süßwasservariante. Wer diese Optik mag, kommt also auch hier auf seine Kosten.
Beleuchtung: die Lampe ist tatsächlich nicht schlecht. Sowohl Ausleuchtung wie auch Farbtemperatur sind ausreichend für Weiche und LPS. Nicht so gut gelöst finde ich den Touchschalter, der zwischen Tag-und Nachtbeleuchtung bzw Auschaltung wechselt. Er ist sehr empfindlich und beim Hantieren kann es schon mal passieren, dass man unbeabsichtigt den Modus wechselt.
Pumpe: nein, die ist nichts. Die hat viel zu wenig Power. Duch die Enge des Pumpenschachteses hat man auch Schierigkeiten, eine passende stärkere Pumpe zu finden. Ich hatte zum Glück noch eine alte Dennerle Pumpe, die so einigermaßen gepasst hatte.
Fazit: Wenn man die Strömung optimiert und einfache Korallen hält, funktioniert das Becken tatsächlich recht gut. Kleine Garnelen wie die Sexy-Shrimps kann man auch drin halten oder vielleicht eine kleine Krabbe wie die Boxerkrabbe.
