I looked it up and talked to others with the nano cube. They said that with live rock and sand you really only have around 6 gallons of water. so with the 24 Watts you have 4 wats a gallos so it's ok for some shrooms and a few softies. I am going to put a 32 Watt retrofit kit in it and run the on a stagger. So i hope it goes well, i'll post pictures.
