Replacement light suggestions for Biocube 32

[Flexin]

Did u see lots of growth with this light schedule? I slowly got mine there to what You have yours..

Hi, what I have has grown but I can't say if it is the best setting for my tank but I've been happy with it.

How are you, It's been a while for me. Yup the tank is still going but I've been away for some time and that has taken a toll on the tank. Working now to get it back together.

I always hear people say they don’t grow corals well, however, it’s normally because they have a newer tank. I happen to gently disagree with the assessment that the stock lights don’t work well. Just sharing since you asked for opinions. Personally, in addition to the lights working well, I like the clean look of the cube. Removing the top looks to unfinished JMO. Again, just sharing with what you can do with the stock lights.

Hi there. Can you tell me what your light schedule is for the 3 modes?

Hi there, glad I checked in :)

1: 11AM-8PM (If you have a problem with algae after running this schedule, decrease the day light (this mode) by an hour or two.
2: 10:30AM-8:30PM (For me, generally 30 mins before and after Mode 1)+
3: 8:30PM-11PM (however long you want the moon glow to last)

Hope this helps, be patient and have fun :)

Over time I increased by day schedule by a few hours. If I started to have problems with algae, I just cut back on the daylight (mode 1). Sorry for the delay in responding.

I know this is old but if you want more par add the moon ch to the daylight schedule also it's adds alot of usable blues

Iv got montipora digi , cap and just got some birdsnest

Also there was 2 led versions one with 2ch and 1 with 3 the 2ch didn't grow anything the 3ch on the other hand will grow anything and there's a guy in here who did par reading and guess what 100 to 300 par in usable growing space 300 was about 6 inches down

Also it's not just about the par amount but what spectrum it's in and hiw much you feed

Had this going for almost 2 years have not found anything that doesn't grow like a weed
