    Do you think I could keep some sps happy in a biocube 29 with stock lights? Specifically montipora species and birdsnest. No acros or anything.

    in that spot at the very top you most definitely could, maybe a monti or a birdsnest, nothing more delicate than that though.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    You can keep Pocillopra, probably some Digitata and Montipora.
