Changing the stock lighting on my biocube 32 noopsyche pendent, prime hd or???

[joshainga]

Wanting to change the lighting on my stock 32 led biocube. I’ve been looking at different options and cannot decide. Any recommendations I know that we have a noopsyche pro that may know something about the pendant as there is very limited information on any of the products online. The prime HD seems like a safe bet but I’m wanting to have a little better par as I’m keeping torches, frogspawn, hammers, zoas, and a bubble tip and want to add some easier sps’s. What would be the best option as far as great color and par. Thank you all for the advise in advance.

I have the option of getting the k7 pro series 3 for the same price minus the mount via a discount code so that is an option too

In my opinion the AI controlling app is terrible

I don’t have a ton of experience with various lighting options but I have an AI prime 16HD on my 24g JBJ cube and have enjoyed it. Tank is still young, but controlling lights have been easy with a ton of presets available online.

32g may be on the larger side for just 1, but I’m sure there’s advice online for that tank and settings.

I upgraded the lights on my biocube with steve's leds because i wanted to keep the lid. https://www.stevesleds.com/Biocube-32-LED-Turbo-Upgrade-System-Plug-and-Play_p_332.html
I have AI hydras and primes on my other tanks and am very happy with them. I think the app is pretty easy to use

@york1 I’ve read several stories about there being issues with heat with the Steve’s leds if the main reason I’m hesitant. My tank already runs 80-81 degrees with the stock lights.

I run the ai prime hd on my I’m 25 and love it as it is easy to use so I may just go that route I just do not want to buy a light and it not be enough to keep some things I want to try.

When I had my 29 Biocube I had the chance to experiment with various setups but unfortunately none of the above. I tried the stock lights on the lid, then I gutted and cutted the lid and installed a combination of led bars, panoramas and some others, then I put a metal halide 250w on top but even so the coral was doing fine I didn’t like it how it looked. I was finally done with the Biocube. When I started my Nuvo 20 it was a totally different scenario, I got some Hyparego lights and I could see the pop on the zoas and everything I put in there, I was very satisfied with them.
