It will depend on the spectrum of the light. Have you watched the BRS TV episode on the refugium lighting comparison. It will grow but slow in my opinion. Watch this.
I just purchase this.

I am hopeful it will increase the growth. It says it's 300w but I'm pretty sure it's not actually pulling that high a wattage. It was $70.

I also purchased a new light for my fuge based on spectrum.
