What LED kit or you installing? I am planning on setting up my wife's Biocube with an LED retrofit.

One orange spot goby.
Green serpent star....which I need to transfer to my home tank....he was tiny 4 years ago and is now a monster.
bunch of hermit crabs and snails.

I am running the original lighting but am switching over to the LED kit over christmas.

RBTA ....
Candy Cane
frog spawn
tons of fuzzy mushrooms.....they are huge.....some are 8 inches across and over lapping ...i need to take some of them home too.

I have Steve's LED retrofit kit for biocube 29 and it works great! I also got the boostled controller to control the moon cycle, gotta say it's pretty awesome.

Here's the link http://shop.stevesleds.com/

You can choose between CREED led or Luxeon Phillip LED both offers 3w voltage but in a biocube you would never need that much, I run mine at 25% intensity for whites and 35% for blues and trust me it is powerful. You can't even go up to 100% without blinding your eyes. Currently the Phillip are little bit better than CREED so that's why I went with Steve's LED instead of Rapid LED.

Good luck!

Are you running them on a controller or timers?
