    i would only upgrade the lighting if you plan on keeping SPS corals. If not and you just want to rock the cube out with softies, the lighting is perfect. I have a 14gal biocube and a 29 gallon biocube. My 14gal has been doing great and it has stock lighting. All my corals are growing and show no signs of dying. Also, are you running a refugium? If you are planning on upgrading the lights for SPS you need to focus on having no nitrates, i think. Just a thought.
