Stock 32 biocube leds

I’m thinking of getting back into the hobby and need a tank with a closed lid due to kids. Was wounding if the leds on the biocube are adjustable because I’m not a super huge fan of bright whites like the med white clear look not allot of blue either.

Maybe look at the Fluvals. They have a closed lid with integrated LED options.

Steve’s LED is an add on. Stock is normally compact actinic fluorescents

They can only be adjusted in stock form, for time on and off. Here is a copy and paste from their manual. To go with more of a blue look, you can do the Steve's LED upgrade or mod the hood to accept just about any light. I run one in stock form, one with 2 kessil a80s in it and the other with a hydra 32 in it. Tons of builds about that show how this is done.

A reef aquarium should have a photo period of twelve hours a day (corals in nature experience light close to 12 hours a day throughout the year). However, you do not need intense light for twelve hours. If your aquarium is in a room with ambient light, then running your LED lights six to eight hours a day is adequate. You can run the relatively dim Channel 3 blue LEDs when the main lights (Channel 1 & Channel 2) are turned off.

Start by plugging in the BioCube lights (make sure to include a drip loop in the power cord). Turn the hood on. Just press the MENU button to cycle through setting the clock, and setting the on and off times for Channel 1, Channel 2 and Channel 3.

Press the MENU button repeatedly until either the 12H or 24H is displayed on the screen. Or, you can use the up and down arrows to switch between regular and military time. Once you have selected your preference, press Menu again to set up the clock.

A clock icon should be displayed when setting up the clock. Use the up and down arrows to change the hour. After setting the hour, press Menu again and then set the minutes. Pressing Menu again will take you to Channel 1 (you will see the numeral 1 in the lower left of the screen).

Channel 1 is for the daytime LEDs. We recommend running these lights run for four to six hours a day. There should be the word on displayed on the right of the screen. Use the arrows to set the hour. Pressing Menu again will allow you to set the minutes. Pressing Menu again will allow you to set the off time for Channel 1 the same way you set the on time. Pressing Menu again will take you to Channel 2, which is for the blue LEDs. We recommend running the blue LEDs run for six to eight hours a day, starting and ending about an hour before and after the white LEDs. You can set the on and off times just as you did with Channel 1. If your aquarium is in a basement or a room that gets zero ambient light we recommend running Channel 2 for twelve hours a day.

Pressing MENU another time will take you to Channel 3, the lunar light channel. Most people will run the lunar lights either a few hours after the main lights turn off or all night long. You can set the time just as you did for Channels 1 and 2. After you program the lunar lights, pressing MENU will take you back to the time display. At that time your programming is complete.
