Biocube 14 lighting issues...

[FishDaAx]

Hello, so I am wanting to do a 14g nano planted tank but I am so confused on lighting!! I want to do LEDs. Does anyone know how many lumen/watts/color temp I would need for medium/high plants in the tank? Thank you guys. Any help would be amazing!

Are you going to retro fit some LED's in the stock hood or do you have a glass lid? Ideally you want color temps for planted tanks to be from 6500K to 10,000K. I like mixing color temps. For example, my nano cube has one of each bulb to get me something close to 8,000K. It's a matter of preference really as color temps between the aforementioned ranges will grow plants. Do you like a warm color (I.e. 6500k) or a crisp white (10,000k)?
