They don't need SPS lighting, but they do need good lighting. If your light was too strong, it probably would've turned brown before bleaching. That looks like the kind of bleaching you see at petco from insufficient lights. 1 Quote Link to comment
Jorge091293 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 i see haha u guys warned me from lfs people they honestly don't care about their animals since i am a girl they take advantage of me they said they could make under it those kind of light's like my soft corals......... i doo have an odysea with 2 24 watt actinic ligths and 1 24 watt 10 k if i put that ontop of the biocube will it be better ??

Jorge091293 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 the other 10 k burned out but i think it would be better than the biocubes ?? i heard this things can even keep anemones.... Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 The biocubes lights support Lps and softies. I don't know what the led grow light is. Sounds like led plant light. Quote Link to comment
Jorge091293 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 it said on ebay for corals but false advertisements for now i put my odysea light on the biocube corals loved the ligth and hopefully they will do better on it let me see how it does for it ..... Quote Link to comment
