    I've got a 13 watt compact fluorescent that I leave on 24/7....

    Hmmm... now that the tank is full, I could convert the pool to saltwater...

    depends on what you put in the refugium. I got caulerpa algae... no need for 50/50 just to grow weeds... I think my big powerful 13 watt PC is 6500K.
