SPS in a Biocube 32?

[maxemorris]

I’ve had my stock biocube 32 for about a year now and have about 20 coral and an anenome in it all thriving.

I already have some montipora in the tank, which I know is easy, but could my stock system (and lights) can handle something like stylophora or birds nest? No acros

I should also mention I don’t want to or plan to add a dosing system or do any dosing. I do a weekly water change with Red Sea Pro salt.

I have both a stylo and birds nest (seriatopora) doing well under stock hood lights with 1 wavemaker for extra flow.
I did have to start weekly dosing by hand a small amount of bottled alk/calc though. The birdnest in particular and a monti cap are growing fast enough that every other week 15% water changes with Reef Crystals isnt keeping up anymore.

Thank you, this gave me the confidence I needed! I just tested my water to find out my consumption rate I plan to dose soon anyways.

Birdsnest are fast growers and are incredibly finnicky so just keep that in mind
