Hi this is my first post and I am new to salt water aquariums.
I am setting up a new Biocube 32 and have a question about upgrading the LEDs that come with the tank. I understand light temp and output. I measure lights for a living, intensity, beam angle and spectrum. Once my aquarium arrives (later this week) I'll take the hood to work and measure the output at different settings and see what I get. Is the purpose of the upgrades (Steve's or the others I've read about) higher par output, higher acetnic, all of the above?
I will take this set up slowly and when I start adding coral I'll start with softies and SPS. But I may want to try LPS in the future and am wondering what benefits in the upgrades I'm looking for.
Thanks for your help and all the info on this site.
Dave
