Biocube Standard Lights and SPS

[piper2013]

Thinking of setting up my 14g biocube and using the stock 20k plus actinics. How limiting are these when it comes to SPS and other corals?
Thanks

Unless it has a MH or LEDs then it wont keep sps alive. The stock PC lights will only work with lps and softies.

Thanks allsps40. I suspected as much but wanted to verify. Setting up tank now and trying to find the best light to fit the 14g biocube. Any ideas on LEDs?

Depending on your price range on which LED's. For my JBJ 28, they make a JBJ LED hood for purchase, do oceanic have the same type of setup for sale?

The Radion is the bet LED light out there.

Matt1351 - Thanks for the reply. Do you have any pics or other info on your mod? I am struggling a bit on this for light choices. if I remove the biocube top, I may as well get a rimless unit. Id like to keep the top intact and modify the lights to keep corals. Any help appreciated.

Lol who wants to spend $750 on a light for a biocube 14g setup?? That's utter nonsense

Saw one on a Elos Mini and all the sps looked outstanding compared to the AI Nano that was on it before.
