DIY Fuge Lighting Options

[Fengxzhang]

I'm trying to fit almost everything under my tank (marineland 200DD) and I'm trying to what the best option I have for a refugium light. I have purchased a couple LED flood lights meant to be used for landscape. I'm curious on how everyone lights their fuge. Thanks!

The LED PAR 30's are great for a fuge light, very powerful and not much heat out of them. If you're going to use a basic clamp on style fixture though I suggest coating the metal spring part in a clear lacquer or silicone spray first to inhibit rust.

Cheers, Todd

I used one 40w power compact light.

buy 3w red led's from ebay and driver that can run led's depends on how many you need and you will have nice grow light, red light will make algae grow faster imo
