The bio cube 32 is a good -basic- tank choice you could grow softies, zoas, and some low light LPS in without delving into upgrades. Might be asking too much for Euphyllia and definitely asking too much for SPS

Stock light will sustain most corals. Here is mine, below with stock lights.

For the lid, it is easy to open and has a feed door at the front. You could easily epoxy a latch to it though.

Would it grow bubble tip nems
In short, yes. But remember, nems will move to where they want and not all want high light, but some will go way to the top of tank to get more light.

The one in my tank has been in it for quite a while and splits regularly. I remove them after they heal a bit, as I only want 1 nem in there.
