    i currently have biocube 29 gallon reef tank, with 1 bangai cardina, 1 clown, and couple crab/snails. My stock corals are...

    1 clove polyps
    1 green star polyps
    1 zoa
    1 torch coral.

    What corals can i get with biocube 29 lighting? Thats not too on the professional levels. 36watt compact lighting is bc lights.

    I was looking at a bubble corals...any suggestions on that?

    I would wait and see how your cyano outbreak goes before buying more corals. It may not be much of an outbreak yet, but could get worse quickly. I am currently dealing with cyano and it started out small in my tank also but has since killed off some corals and spread around the tank quite a bit.

    i would hold off until you figure out ur ca alk and mg levels. i would stick with softies for now. and the torch you have. the biocubes lighting is suited for softies and a few lps corals, that about it NO sps corals can be kept with the stock light IMO oh and the lighting is 72w total 36w apiece.

    Thats completely wrong, nano tank of the month on rc has sps lps zoas scolys everything.

    Yes lights are important but water quaitly and flow are just as important so it can be done

    ya maybe thats true with and exprienced aquarist. from what i understand this is a new reefer, and with the well the lights arent good enough and water quality params arent where they should be (look at members other thread) and if is a stock BC the flow blows i had a hydor 1 and nano in mine.

    Its scarry that you think you want a coral, and do absolutely no research on them. If you see something you would like to have in your tank, do a google search on it and at the very least dig up some basic info.
