Ok guys I've done some research but I don't know too much about lights and wiring

I have a biocube 29 with Pc's. Are there any led options for me? Just to add to the Pc's while staying under the plastic light cover? I wanna be able to have an open brain or a clam or just more light I'm open and ready to hear some opinions.

Are you wanting to keep the lid on it or pull it off? There are plenty of led options ranging from DIY/ ecoxotic panorama strips or ai fixtures

I have a redsea max that I gutted the hood and put a AI sol in it with no problems. Sure you can do the same with a biocube.

nanotuners is out of business. Go to rapidled.com and they provide an LED kit for the biocube.

No way, that's crazy. It been a minute since I've been to the site. Figures they were quite pricey.

Ecoxotic Panorama PRO modules. I would run 3 total. 1 all blue, 1 12k/blue and 1 magenta/blue.

Honestly I would save the time and go the pro modules. I've done two biocube style retros and would much rather have purchased something pre built due to the time savings as the cost savings really aren't there for the diy unless you go with a huge project.

Say I go the rapid led rout, udk if I wanna get the light combo they come with, I hear it is best to go with a little less white, what would your combos be?

Honestly depends on the color temperature that you want. I would suggest if you go the diy route to start spending a lot of hours reading so you can make the decision of what you are looking for.
