I am looking into refugium lighting and stumbled upon this light. Thoughts? Will cover a 24"x18" area. There is also this combo

Another option is a 4-6 bulb t5 fixture. I know way more over thinking than needed. Plan is to have a refugium that can grow all macro and even corals if I want.

For macro algae it does not matter much.

Yeah this is the senses that I have gotten. Seems lighting for display refugium is an after thought. I know basic lights will grow macros. But is the idea that your refugium light should be an equal power to display light power. We'll guess I will decide and test my own ideas on lighting refugium.
