Biocube 32 Lighting Questions

[EricksonHQI]

We have a new Biocube 32 LED and are trying to find a cheap lighting upgrade. Well maybe not upgrade but a good supplemental lighting source...
I have read about people using the True Lumen led strips, the LEDENET strips, and some doing a full retrofit upgrade with those... I’m not ready to plunge into a Steve’s or nano box upgrade, but want some more blues and different range of options for our lights to help our corals “pop”.. and if it adds to our par levels that’s a win win!
Any help, ideas, advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also if you’ve used the led strips how did you mount them in the hood? And did you wrap them to keep the water off?

Thanks in advance!

We took the Steve's LED plunge so not much help with the supplemental lighting. Several folks on here running Biocubes, maybe someone will chime in.

Steve’s LEDs here too. You can’t go wrong. If you still have the lid, that’s what I’d suggest.
