I have a BioCube 14G that I want to swap out the bulbs for a retrofit LED and have narrowed it down to either StevesLED or Truelumen. Does anybody have any experience with either setup? Right now I just have a clown, lawnmower blennie, hermit crabs, and snails. I would love to add an anemone at some time and maybe a few corals.
The other question is I don't know if I have a Coralife or an Oceanic. I have 4 buttons on top, a clear window in section 2, and it only says BioCube on the cover hatch. Any ideas which?

Thanks
 
I used a Steve's kit for about a year over a mixed reef. The lighting was good and grew everything i put under it. The only drawback for me was how loud the fans were. I got used to it, but when they turned off at night it was noticeable.

Granted, I was using three LED bars with three fans... The biocube system might be quieter. If you run a Google search for Steve's LED's, there is a thread on a different forum that goes into a lot of detail about them - it's in a thread about upgrading Red Sea Max tank lighting.
