better lighting for biocube

[SCHEITHE]

I need to get a better compact light for my 29gal biocube, right now I have the stock 10k light 65w. Im looking for a 15k light any ideas for a 15k light. Im doing hard corals so I need this light. thank you.

10k and 15k are colors. You need more wattage not a different color. The standard 29g Biocube has two 36w PC bulbs. Do you have something other than the standard hood?

what should i do then for the lights?

Depends how deep your pockets are. Plenty of upgrade options here.

You could also remove the hood and run a 150w or 250w MH 20in Sunpod made by Current.

To be brutally honest, no. The cheapest way is to stick with the types of corals that will do well under your current lighting.
