Looking for feedback on Neptune GRO Refugium light. Currently using a standard clamp on reflector along with a Feit 16-watt grow LED bulb. Grows Cheato fine but is heating up Sump during night hours (about 1-1 1/2 degrees). I would like to reduce this added heat load if possible.
Anyone have any experience with GRO fixture and any added heating?
Backstory: With use of ATI Sunpower 8 bulb T5HO reef tank always had issues with added heat during daylight times with temps rising 2-4 degrees on certain days. In summer (here in Southeast Georgia its summer most of year it seems ) and during November I bit the bullet and added my 1st Neptune APEX (pro) along with (3) three Neptune SKY fixtures.
Daytime heating issues seem to be gone for good (actually seeing some heater use during cooler 60-70 degree outside temp days). Aquarium room stays at around 75-78 degrees most of time.
Sincerely,
David
