Most reef lights are good enough nowadays to grow anything. Parameters are more important for optimal growth.

Do these work with the stock hood? Or would you have to modify?

I have Steve's LEDs with fluorescent boost. Everything is growing & thriving, but admittedly colors fall a bit short, heavy on the blue/purple spectrum with only 2 channels. Still pretty!

My Steve's LEDs grow coral like crazy. You keep the original hood as well.

Correct. Hood stays. See pic

I upgraded my BioCube lighting to an AI Hydra 32 HD and it’s been amazing!! Attached are photos of it with daylight and blue-focused settings.

Still a new system, stated it end of October
