This is the light I have at the moment. I’m currently placing an order on BRS & Amazon right now & will add another grow light for the chaeto in my cart if this current one is not feasible. I’d appreciate your guys’ input

It'll probably work totally fine - looks a little heavy on the blue side for chaeto though. I'm assuming you need the gooseneck? Otherwise something like this has a better spectrum.

Check out this guide if you haven't seen it - good info here.

Appreciate the reply, good to know my current light is fine. I just have two other questions. How high should the light be from the chaeto & should I run all reds or a mix of red & blues?
