18" deep fuge light

[Ray Laneville]

Hi
I have a refugium that is 18" deep x 12' x 12". Can anyone suggest a light that will grow macros well and won't break the bank?

I use a cheap red spectrum grow light off amazon it works great but it can't grow any algae with a red appearance. I think one appropriately sized would work fine

Can anyone tell me if this light would be good to grow macros in 18" deep water?

If so, can someone recommend which wattage to get?

this is the one I have. I've even dropped it in my sump once and it still works. its a great price for how high quality it is. the whole thing is housed in a waterproof metal housing unit and you can easily find par ratings online for it. for your refugium id go with a 200+ watt one
