Cheap refugium light

[clown99]

I use this for my 29g biocube refugium. I attached outside with velcro. It works great. Chaeto grows double every 2 weeks.

Lol yup!!!! I actually ditched it. It clogged my
Pump and reduced flow too much with the intank basket and floss in chamber 1. Not that I wanted too. But I had a heater almost melted. So chamber 2 is reserved for the heater. Trim it but you can frag that stuff like crazy. Small tank. So levels are always present. Grows!!!!!! I’m using Purigen now. As long as you stay on it it’s a worthy refugium etc. other option is to reduce the lighting. I try to go a week with out trimming. Water change day. Lol 4 days sounds about right lol.

I don’t blame the Chaeto for what happened it was a combination of things and this tank wants a daily floss change. If you have the Intank basket. Otherwise it drops the other two levels.

Take the sponge out of the pump. It’s a nitrate factory. Trim when the cheato starts to grow forwards that opening to chamber 3. Replace intanks filter floss daily and you won’t have any issues and it works well.

How much chaeto do you remove? 50%? 40%?

I'm looking for a way to not light my office up pink :) My sump section is open.

Mutually exclusive. You need bright pink for best growth.
Run it when out of the office.

This is the best light I have ever come across. It beats about everything, even my hundreds of dollars kessil designed specifically for fuge. Only thing that can beat it are my Radions.
