Refugium light

[ReefRyan]

I am looking for a LED light to grow cheeto. I came across this item..... https://reefbuilders.com/2017/10/12/chaetomax-is-innovative-marines-macroalgae-specific-led-light/
The reason I like this item is because it's thin (low profile) & also includes the red and blues.? I have a H.O.B. refugium that I'll be growing the Cheeto in. So this items is so far the one that fits the criteria. Has anyone used this product. I'm looking for feedback on this and also drop a comment below on what you use. So it can get me to venture out and see other possibilities.

Just recently switched to the Kessil H380, amazed with the difference in growth over my previous home depot led flood lights.
I don't think this light(Kessil H380) will work for your application however it seems that the change in spectrum(red and blue)is well documented to improve growth.

I also am running a hang-on-back refugium (CPR AquaFuge2). I used CPR’s low profile LED that came with it and every time I put Chaeto in the fuge, it just melted after a few days. I finally invested in the Kessil H80 and it was amazing! I put a softball sized ball of fresh Chaeto in and a few weeks later it grew to a basketball sized ball!

Last week I ordered the new ChaetoMax grow light to test it out. It arrives this week and I’m looking forward to giving it a go!
