Several folks are running a 32 Biocubes. We love pics! Are you running stock lights?
 
Yes. Stock lights on the LED version.

I know it's generally not the suggested approach, but I chose the biocube because it gives me fewer things to fiddle with while I learn before I upgrade. Idea is to keep it simple for a while and learn. Hopefully I develop good habits and experience then I'll move to something where I can play with lighting, filter flow, have a sump, etc. That works for me (hopefully).
 
Nothing wrong with what your doing, we ran stock lights in ours for a year before we upgraded.
