Hi
Any recommendation for refugium light?
Thanks in advance

I use a basic clamp light from any hardware store with a grow bulb.

like SallyWho I just use a clamp light from a hardware store, in my case home depot

What's the situation you want to deploy this light into? The scenario might suggest that some lights are a better or worse fit than others.

I like the Tunze because it can be fully submerged.

For innovative marine srf 50 sump refugium compartment

will it be housing macro algae or be a rock only refuguim?

Will be some rocks with macro algae

I've used a few different refugium lights. The cheapest was the clamp-on fixture and 5k bulb from Lowes.

I have a waterbox x60.2. I have the chaetomax light on outside of sump shinning in. Very happy! Bought on marketplace

In my old 36×24×12 frag system I used a 16hd to light the rocks and macro algae. Worked well.

I use a Kessil H80 Tuna Flora, but agree that the Lowe's option certainly would be cheaper and probably have the same results :)

Another work light with a grow light bulb user here. I used to harvest half a 5g bucket of chaeto every 7-10 days. Not sure why people buy high dollar refugium lights unless it for appearance?

I would say if you want to aggressively reduce nutrients you could go with some of the tunze or Kessil refugium lights, but they can get kind of pricey. It is nice to have some dimming adjustments that way you can use the intensity to take out more or less nutrients based off your testing.

I use a vivosun full spectrum plant grow light fixture. Grows my Pom pom like crazy! No reef tax on it also! Under $100

Also ran a, i think it was a Hygger panel light for $40. Worked great for macro on the same system before the 16hd.
