Ocean revive Arctic t247 as refugium light

[Deborah Armay]

Hi all. I have searched and searched for info on spectrum lighting of these lights. I want to use it as a refugium light but have no idea how to set up the correct spectrum. Can anyone help? Thanks

From the Amazon description for these lights....

specialized for SPS/LPS/Soft corals and reef fish. Built-in controller controls TWO channels independently (blue and full spectrum channels) for both Time and Intensity. Special Full Spectrum layout was developed by fellow reefers of both the US and International reefing community: Royal Blue 450nm, Blue 470nm, Cool White 10000K, 12000K, Red 520nm, Green 660nm and UV 420nm, creating the natural reefing light to reflect vivid color from the corals and fish. 90 degree optics help light to penetrate to the required depth of water.

Not sure if this would work for growing macro algae as most of refuge lights focus on red lights but someone else may chime in on that

Kessill makes a macro algae light. I have it but if I were to buy again I would get the Tunze submersible light and light the algae ball from the inside. The kessill only lights from above so I am constantly turning the ball of algae
