Horizontal do work, its just that they have to be very big to do what a much smaller water fall type lit on both sides does. I have a horizontal that I have been experimenting with for over a year and it works just fine but compared to my water fall types it very limited. Nothing wrong with it at all, it serves a purpose and gets the job done but its just slow. I notice my glass does not stay as clean and the nutrients take longer to go down after cleaning compared to the two sided unit. But it does work and I like to experiment with it so seeing its on a tank I raise pods in there is no big loss if I make its capacity worse while testing different things on it.
I say learn all you can about your horizontal then take that knowledge and build you a waterfall type when you are ready. Thats how I started to, if you can make a horizontal work a water fall type will be a huge success.

Most of my corals are fine I have a green eflo that has turned a bit brown but a green acro that has got more green and looks better than ever perhaps some corals are more sensitive than others to low levels of po4 I also have a hystrix that is meant to be pink but never has no matter how low po4 is.
Have observed some changes in the tank since using the scrubber lps seem to be doing better and sps have seem to taken a growth spurt my hystrix in the last few days is covered in new growth tips
Its awesome!!! Many folks see this, I did to.
