Whats going on everyone. Have not been on here in a bit just to get everyone caught up I had my 30 gallon with 25 sump and I sold my home in Jackson so I moved the tank to my office until I found a house I wanted so 6 months later I finally got to start setting up the 60 gallon cube I got from a buddy here are a few pics of the tank after I finally got everything transferred over. I still need to get ahold of some more rock and livestock but it's a start Well I'm having trouble adding a pic wont let me insert or attach. any suggestions?

Nice, welcome back!
I am a big fan of the 60 cube as well. Lots of aquascape options in that tank
 
Ok asking for my first piece of advice. The lighting! Currently I have 8x 24" t5 with led moonlight. 4x purple+, and 4x 65k. I want to get more blue in the tank. My other tank I had was fitted with 4x 36" t5 with led moon lights. It had 2x blue plus,1x purple plus, and 1x coral plus.

I was thinking of pulling out 2x 65k and 2x purple and adding either 4x blue plus or 2x blue plus and 2x aqua blue special. On a final note adding these 4 will be around 100 bucks so this pops in my head replace the bulbs or leave then and get a 24" blue led strip for accent and a little more light power. I like the coral with the blue affect but I want what will help them grow the best short of MH
 
If it were me I would add the blue led strip to see if that helps.Alot of companys are now adding leds along with the t5s.They call them hybrids.
 
Got 4 blue+ on the way should be here next week. And hopefully will have another frag or two after sat so I should have some pics up after changes are made
