So i was curious if there were any small MH's that you are able to put in a 29G BioCube? Right now I think I only have like 70-90W of light in my tank right now with it only like 1-2 Inches above the water. So I was curious, and If you can shed some light on the subject on if I should need it for a reef aquarium. Like, What Wattage would I need to consider, Corals I should consider that actually need it, or anything else I need to know.

The PC that come with it can support soft. I had a plate coral sps growing on the top of the center...did fine.. and a anenome seabae type...he grew like a weed.
You can add more to the 29 biocube...http://www.theaquaticdepot.com/current-usa-sunpod-hqi-fixtures-with-lunar-led339.html?gclid=CMf65tv1jpgCFQJ2xgodrgLwOw
I dont buy from that site but that sunpod i've seen on some bio cubes... You can also go with Hanging fixtures ...LED's... depends on how you want to go about this.
I think upgrade would be cool idea....and going hoodless in the processs. You may also consider upgrading that pump in the 3rd chamber to get more gph ...
