nano tuners only has a mod to add another 2 36w pc bulbs or a 70w halide and i dont think either is gonna be enough even though 4x36w is 144w im unshure that it will be strong enough for an sps tank

The 70 halide should be strong enough. Truth of the matter is BioCubes don't make for the best SPS tanks. Hard to hit the super low nutrient levels that it takes to get the best colors.

so if a 70w halide would do the job, would the 144w pc kit be a better choice for half the money?
if i go with a halide i think id rather try to mod in a 150w and deal with the heat issuse

I have a 175w MH on my 18" high 25g nano. I get good growth and coloration. I would recomment the higher wattage for a MH, as I find I am usually happier with it in the end.
I've never had a heat issue with my lighting, all I have is a pair of fans on my hood and its all good. Granted it isn't a biocube tank, so I can only chime in so much.

Well since you were toying with a $900 lighting option, I assume money isn't really the issue here. So for my 2 cents, if it were me, I'd skip modifying the bio 29 and pick up the new JBJ 28 gallon. By it's features, it's more SPS ready right out of the box. Skimmer, MH lighting, Wave Maker. Just a thought.....
