HOB Refugium Lighting

[goldenhurricane2]

I have a CPR HOB Aquafuge and I love it, but I think the light I'm using is subpar (Finnex led strip). It's only 4 watts and doesn't include any (visible) red spectrum. I know there are a lot of great refugium lights out there, but I'm a little limited on space since I'm using the HOB refugium - basically has to be long and slender.

What's the best option for lighting this type of refugium?

This is intriguing.

I hadn't seen that - It looks very interesting being 18 watts (over 4x what I currently use). May be worth a shot at only $15.

You could even look to see if they have warm or blues too.

That spectrum would be good for chaeto right? The 625nm red and the 470nm blue.

Of the grow Light? Yes. Very popular. Similar the kessil and other grow Lights.

I’ve used these on 2 differant tanks. They come in various sizes and they grow chaeto insanity fast. I normaly don’t like amazon but this is where I found them. They are mad of glass and seem to be sealed very well.

I currently have 2 if the 15” versions on the fuge for my 135 SPS tank
