New here, not sure if I’m doing this right but here is my 3 month old biocube 32. First attempt with saltwater after having cichlid tanks for quite some time. Everything has been growing so hope it’s going well! I know the bio cube doesn’t have the best lighting system, anyone with long term success with the stock light and lots of corals? Also open to any tips being new to the hobby!

looks like you're off to an awesome start! The stock lights should be fine for the soft corals and LPS you have growing. You should only need to upgrade lighting if you wish to grow SPS corals, or if you just want a different look or more controllability. Keep up the good work!

The light is actually great for zoas, hammers, torches. I managed to bleach my golden/orange leptastrea like the one you have by putting it at 8 inches below the surface.
