The Wichita reef group on Facebook would be your best bet, it's very active

do you have stock-light hood on your biocube 32? is it the LED? If so what types of Coral can it support I've heard that I can do any corals , then someone else says only softies? also nems i hear they will be fine and they will not? is the best option to just go for it and see what happens?

We are still doing the slow bump on acclimating. Im not very educated on corals and types. All I can tell you is the wife will see one and say that one's cool and it ends up in the tank. Stock hood, very easy to install, it took me about a 1/2 hour taking my time. I can tell you it is a big improvement over the stock lighting. Everything is opened up more and looking good. Right now I'm at around 38% on the power and bumping up daily.

Forgot to mention we upgraded to Steve's leds for the lighting. Sorry that was probably a confusing read.
