Hi all,
I have a 27 gal cube tank with a Marineland Double bright LED strip. I was recently told that I would have to supplement this light in order to have success with corals. I was looking at the Innovative Marine Led strips. They come in 10k and 14k. Would this be suitable for supplemental lighting? If so should i get the 10k or the 14k? I am still a newbie at saltwater and any feedback would be greatly appreciated! :)

Unfortunately, neither of these are really suitable for corals, except, perhaps, for soft corals. If you are wanting any LPS or SPS, you'd be better off just replacing the Double Brights.
