I do have a new JBJ 24G Nano Cube and I do plan to upgrade my lighting for SPS keeping. Is the AI Hydra with round about 90 watts enough to keep SPS corals?
OR do you have another recomodation for me?

I have a RapidLED retrofit kit in mine with 2 channels. Channel 1 is 12 x Cree XT-E royal Blue. Usually run it at ~50%. Channel 2 is 12 x white (4 each of Cool white, neutral white and warm white). This usually runs at ~25%. It came with 12 x CW, I changed them out after a year. I am growing a green acro, lots of montipora digitata, ORA Bird of paradise birdsnest, gold hammer, green/pink torch, 3 x Rainbow BTA (started with 1), various frags of the above and assorted SPS waiting to go into my 150 when it is ready. One could argue with the color selection in the LEDs, but this was my first LED build and the tank is doing nicely.
It was a RapidLED retrofit kit. These are 3 watt LEDs so if I were running at 100%, this would be ~72 watts.
I don't known whether the Kessil will work for you. Probably yes, but you are going to need to run without a hood on your nanocube. The RapidLED retrofit kit, replaces the CF fixtures that the hood came with.
If I had this to do over again, I'd probably replace the neutral whites with a lime or two and some 430 nm violet. I'd also use the LDD option rather than the analog dimmable drivers.
135watts. A little bit pricey, but I am not a starter. I had saltwater tanks for 14 years!
And I don't mind not having a hood on it. I am not that good replace the current light with a better LED. That's fine
