“Zetlight E3” light any good?

Hello, I picked up this light from my LFS for a small area of my sump (maybe like 3 gallons of water) to grow/keep frags including SPS. I tried searching online but couldn’t find any useful info about this light. Should I keep it or return it? (I got it for $80)

It should work for your sump - just not sure about SPS (will depend on the height of the light, type of corals, depth of the sump, etc.)

Oh okay, it the rack will be pretty near it (abt 1.5 feet away). If it won't be able to sustain SPS then that would be a bummer. Do you have any reccomendations of lights of a similar price for a really small area that can sustain SPS? (acros and montis mainly)

I don't know that it won't work for SPS, so worst-case scenario you could try a cheap SPS frag with it first.
