refugium lighting question
I need lighting for a refugium/sump under my 85 gallon. I want to grow some macroalgae, but did not want the light to be over 12 to 18 inches. Does anyone have any suggestions? thanks

I'm going with a Lights of America fixture over my 29g sump. It is 65w putting out 6825 lumens. It is supposed to be between 5500 - 6500k. What's sweet about it is:
1 - moistureproof housing 2 - low heat output 3 - size (appx 10" x 4" x 4") 4 - cost = $30 5 - life of bulb = 10,000hrs (little over a year) I've had good luck growing macro under normal PC srew-in bulbs in a shop light, so I'm sure this will rock. Plus, I've heard good things on the boards about them. HTH. S ! |
