I've been wanting to add some coral, color, more life to my tank. I'm very new to having coral in a tank so i'm looking for some help. Can anyone give me a list of a few easy, hardie coral i could buy i have a 29g biocube with 10k day light and the blue light i cant remember the name. as well as blue leds for night. I just need some help on what to get that is good for a begginer. Thank you

The stock lighting is not quite enough for most of the cooler stuff, but will support lower light things like shrooms or other softies, maybe some LPS, if you want a larger variety to be safe with taking home I would upgrade the lights to the LED kits they have out. I tried the stock lighting out and was not surprised it wasn't very powerful. Once you start getting a few corals you will get addicted, why not prepare by upgrading first

becuase i'm not a handy type of person i would not know how to begin to remove the old lighting and hook up the LEDS. i've thought about it. also when it comes to leds you have alot of color options with blue purple and other i would not know where to begin on what to choose, same with dimmable vs non its more then i know how to do and understand right now.

They are designed just for you than! All you do is just unscrew everything out of your hood and the LEDs fit exactly in the old electronics place. The kits are solder less too, so basically your looking at a small Lego project lol. Takes maybe 30 minutes tops
