I pulled my other job apart. It holds rubble and the impeller is rusting bad. So this will replace that.
I'll be Moding this beast. I know it's not the 110 but it will do. This is going to be my refugium.
The goal is for it to provide a safe place for pods and help with nitrate.

Refugium done. Just waiting for it to cure. Easy peasy. Took all of five minutes. Scissors, sealant and sand paper. The sand paper is to reduce height of blades.

I use the red UFO light from amazon over my chaeto farm.....
Chaeto ball is the size of a beach ball...
I'm thinking a 100 watt may to big. It's only going over a 70 aquaclear. Do you have a suggestion with a smaller watt

it's only about 8" across so I doubt it would be too much for a 70, mines over a 40B.

Being that small of an area, I'd recommend looking into a PAR 30 LED. PAR 30s are available in grow lights too.

There you go!
I like @NY_Caveman 's light too but the 50w may be too much with too much spread for your 6" x 6" x 6" area. However, with that flexible gooseneck, you could plug it into a long extension cord and run around the house singing into it like it's a microphone with groovy lighting. If you choose this route, wait until your kids have a bunch of friends over and then bust out a performance!

I've used the magnetic ones. They are a little pricey, and don't really have longevity. I'd absolutely go with the other light. I've seen very good reviews on them.

Well I found one at Walmart with the same spectrum. I picked up a cheap fixture since it won't be in the water. I just picked up some Cheeto. Turned out to be a little cheaper since i didnt uave to pay for shipping. I'm excited.

We are sure 99.9% sure the old man, skeeter, has cancer and in his final days. Today we found a large hard mass on his chest. He hasn't moved since the vet visit. I offered him is favorite treat. He looks and turned his head away. One can tell he isn't doing well. It's breaking my heart.
