lighting for your nano or bio cube

[dolphinfan213]

i just copped a 28 gallon bio cube from a fellow reefer and was wondering if some of you would post your lighting on your tanks--i currently am using a 8 lamp t5 ho( it is too big for my taste) but it will have to do until i get funds for a smaller and neater light--i am just curious about what you guys/gals have on yours

i will post pics of mine later once i get the correct pics

I have some Ecoxotic panorama modules retrofitted into my Biocube's hood. It looks great, the tank temp dropped a few degrees, and I don't have to worry about replacing bulbs for years

I'm running the nanotuners LED lights. They're great! They provide more than enough light for my setup (LPS and SPS), corals have never grown faster, and the tank runs at a much more consistent temperature now than with the PC lighting. The only problem I have with the LEDs is that I would've liked to have done the dimmable option so I could turn up the blues and have the actinic feel. If I were you though, I might stick with the t-5 option because they can produce some amazing growth and coloration. If it isn't broken, don't fix it
