johnoburns Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I want to get a light to support a refugium on the back of my nano tank. The links I was using on how to build a reguigum are kind of old and I can no longer find the lights they talk about. What requirements should I look for in the light? I just want to have something simple with cheato. Thanks for any input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box says "plant light" not sure how well it will work, but I thought I would give it a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barderer Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 might be nice to use a high power white led, you could prob get by with just one for the refug... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ACampbell Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I seen those before. I'd like to know how that bulb works out. Please let us know. How does it appear? Very white? Temp ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caferacermike Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've seen several adequate fuges set up using the 75w flood light for plants. Just a little $7 clip reflector light and that bulb produced all kinds of algaes and mangroves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
