Hi I'm new to this hobby and looking on websites for ideas has become a bit of a minefield. I have built my own corner tank that holds approx 190 litres and a sump that holds approx 50 litres. I plan on building an insulated cabinet for the sump to stay outside but I'm curious to what type of lighting is needed for the refugium part of the sump and what type I can use for the main tank. Any help here would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance Gary
