lighting upgrade

new2reef2 · 01/07/2016, 06:31 PM

i have a 35 gallon cube, it came with a 36 watt Chinese LED mix of mostly white with some blues. i just have 1 zoa frag at the bottom of the tank right now and seems to be opening up fine with the light cycle. but feel this isn't enough light for when i add more corals. i also want that glow from my corals at the actinic lights give off.

You should ask this in the lighting section.

If your not happy with your lights then you should upgrade. But you're going to need to research what kind of light you want and how much money you want to spend.
