I have a biocube that has been running for a while now, in it I have two Kenya trees, a hammer coral, red mushrooms, and a Duncan. All of these corals are showing great growth and are doing excellent, I have the standard two 36 watt pcs. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions or corals that they have in their bio cube, thanks!

I was able to grow Green Birds Nest (Seriatopora guttatus), and Montipora Digitata in mine. I did try a small Acro frag at the top of the tank, it did not color up or grow. This was all under the stock 2 x 36w lighting. Oh yeah, and Montipora Capricornis did well too.
 
Ive got monti cap, some type of acro, gold hammer coral star polyps, zoas, palys, maze brain, war coral, acan echinatas, chalices, button polyps, mushrooms, gold teardrop maxima. I used to have a hqi system but my LFS couldnt get the right bulb in so my ballast would short out. I switched to a 90w LED system and I love it! Better color and growth with everything. And you dont need a chiller which saves you close to 500 dollars. Just a few suggestions to let you maximize your range of coral you can buy because it sucks if you see something sweet but cant get it because your system cant provide enough light
