    I was looking at the Biocube 29 and it mentions that the lid has 4 extra receptors for additional LEDs. It doesn't indicate what size LEDs it accommodates. Nor does it show pictures of the lid. I'm wondering if anyone has a newer model and can tell me a bit about it. I'm torn between the original Biocube and the HQI-version. if the orginally accepts larger LED strips, like the Ecoxotic Panorama for example, then I'd like to go that direction otherwise I guess I'll go with the HQI for the MH. ANy advice would be great.

    Thanks 3reefers!

    The new biocube with leds(I think it's just the 14 ATM) has LEDs, but they are simply actinic supplements. They still use PCs. I would get the old biocube 29 and retrofit it with LEDs.
