JBJ nano cube 28 lighting options

I currently have a JBJ nano cube 28 with the compact fluorescent light in it. I set this tank up in September of last year. I currently have some zoathids, acans, and LPS coral in it. I added the coral about three months ago and I am seeing little to no growth on them. Some of them are starting to bleach out and lose colors. I contemplating upgrading the lighting on my tank to hopefully help out my coral growth. I would like to keep the factory canopy on the tank if possible. What are some good options that I could use to do a LED retrofit on my tank? If that is not an option what would be a good light to add to the tank to help with my coral growth?
 
When was the last time you changed the bulbs? They only hold
Spectrum for about 8 months and then need to be replaced.

Rapid led makes a kit that retro fits into that hood to convert it to led
 
I'm considering trying to mod the hood for a Chinese black box or an ocean revive t247 to fit. Not sure how they will work out being that close to the water though.

I was wondering the same thing about puting a Chinese black box LED in the hood. I did not know if anyone has done that or not. I have another bulb for the tank. I will try and change it this weekend and see if that helps.
 
I have a jbj 24 and had my hood retrofitted with led's.

FYI:

Bleach = too much light and/or stress. Work on stability, whether that means light stability or water parameter stability, though usually water stability.

Brown = not enough light.

I've never had a coral bleach from too little light, only from stressors not related to light or flow.

Nice mod GKB480. For the others, I've seen a few people post here with chinese black boxes installed in their hoods with good results, as well as one person who put a Radion into their hood as well. All with generally good results. Just have to google to find it.
