beauty of that system is doing any water changes at all is super easy and high % as nutrient export so sps wouldn't be an issue once it got all stable

Try Purple Valida:wink:. One of the easiest sps IME and one that loves light and can tolerate some nutrients in the water. So a good candidate for a nano sps reef, IMO.

Well the Cubey shoes up today. They've made a lot of improvements over the original design in this version. I'm just running some tests on the heater, pump and lights before setting it up at the office tomorrow. Then I will drop some live rock in it right away.

There's no carbon or anything in the filter setup so I will add this. Must resist the temptation to drop livestock in it within the first week.

I have changed my direction a bit and going LPS and some softies like shrooms and Zoa.

Keep it bare bottom or put in a small layer of aragonite?

So the tank has been up and running for over a week now and everything seems perfect. My only concern is the LED lighting and wether I have enough light to keep LPS and some easy SPS like montipora.

I am running the LED that came with the tank plus 4 strips of ECOPICO LED. It gives me a total of 17x 12,000K white LED and 13x 453NM blue LED.

Really would like some input on my lighting and if I am good to go or not.

Thanks in advance.

What are the wattage of the LED emitters?

Looks like it's a combined wattage of 30 watts. The tank is only 10" deep.

Some additional information I found according to the light specs. : 90 lumens/watt White, 30 lumens/watt Blue
