I modified my standard 32 gal Biocube with adding 2 12” 21 LED actinics. I was hoping to get a little more then what I got as I want to do all sps on the top half or more.

what would be acceptable for now?

I will upgrade my lights but not for a couple months. What kind of lighting would you do?
ATI power module hybrid
kessil ap9x
radion gen 5 blue

With 200 par you can grow montipora all day long. Pavona, pocci, some lower light acros.
Yeah gonna need more than that. It should be okay for a couple weeks. What should the green slimmer get?

guess I will start researching lighting.

Honesty on a tank that size you could probably do a single kessil 360, bit the biggest issue will be spotlighting. Sps do funny things when light isn't well distributed. For that reason I like the idea of including supplements like the ATI.
