Hello so here's the deal I have a older 14 gallon biocube that I setup last week and what I have done is taken out the actinic light and replaced it with a panorama pro module in its place. So first question is was that ok to do. Next question should I run the daytime lights with the panorama and how long should I leave the lights on.I do have a timer. Also and I'm sorry if these are stupid questions I'm new to this but how high should I keep the panorama dimmer I was told about 50%.
Panorama pro module 24v
16watt 12k white/445nm blue
Whatever that means lol
And just let me know if it would've been better to swap the daytime instead. Thanks in advance for all the help.
 
You can run the day lights (12k white leds) but it may appear very white as there's 8 whites to 4 royal blues.
You can run 3 modules off that one 60w transformer, if that's what you have?
16w isn't a lot of light depending on what you plan on keeping. Here's what I'd do, if you can afford another 2 modules, they're only $40-50 right?
Option A) buy another 12k/445nm AND a 12x 445nm running the blue in the middle and the 12k/blue either side.
Option B) put your current 12k/445nm in the middle, AND buy another 2 modules eg: 2x blue modules?.. Or 1 blue and 1 blue/magenta?
 
there are some drop in LED kits made specifically for the 14g biocude. i think rapidLED has a kit. a quick google search will yield plenty of lighting options since the factory lighting on those is lacking for most types of corals and nems.
