    what type of light do you use for your refugiums?

    I am using a 18watt indoor household light bulb.
    caulerpa are gowing fine but Im thinking of replaceing it.
    should spent $50 bucks for coralife mini might?
    that uses A 9 watt daylight and 9 watt actinic bulb?

    Why reverse light timing?
    The road to hell is paved with good intentions, but it's the thought that counts.

    The reverse lighting is to keep the ph stable during the night or when lights are off. Most tanks drop a little in ph and this keeps the ph pretty stable.
