    Does anyone have the new Biocube with LED's? Not aftermarket, but the original LED lid that comes with it. I tried looking for videos on Youtube to see the colors it puts out and see If I want to invest the money in it or not. All I found was videos with aftermarket lights, cree i believe? Looking to buy a biocube and am heavily leaning towards led's but would like to see what it looks like before I drop 600 bucks on it.

    You'll never find an accurate picture or video of an LED lit tank. The LEDs just don't show up right when trying to take pictures. LED is definitely the way to go though! I'm re-doing my lighting on my 125 to go all LEDs. Were you just wondering what they look like or did you have any questions on LEDs?

    Aquacon and petsolutions have them. Its the JBJ Biocube 28 with LEDs. I just wanted to know what the stock leds looked like or if aftermarket were better. I've heard someone say though that they've even had to remove some corals as LEDs are too bright for them? Idk how this is even possible lol ever heard that?
