Biocube 14 stock lights - what will it keep

[Jasontkd]

Ok, I am a little rusty as I have been out of the hobby for a couple years now. I am about to acquire an Oceanic Biocube 14 with the stock PC lights. I know this is a lower intensity light (in comparison), but I can't remember if the wattage is high enough to keep anything more than softies.

Can anyone give my a quick rundown of the typ of corals the lights on this tank will support?


Thanks in advance

Ange062 ran PC's for a while in his BioCube 28. Check out his thread (start from the beginning) to get an idea of what you can do with a similar set up.

That should answer all of your questions.

Jason,

I have a BC 29 with stock lights. I keep softies and LPS no problem. I would not recommend going into the SPS from what everyone has told me its not enough light. If you want SPS or Clams you need LEDs or at least more than the stock PC lights.
