Viparspectra grow light for fuge?

[symon_say]

Hi

I'm planning my new tank, and it will have a 26x26x14 fuge, was searching for lights and found the viparspectra 300w grow light, given that viparspectra is one of the best black boxes, it should make good lights for fuge.

Have anyone try this lights for a fuge?

I'd honestly say that light may be a little overkill for a fuge. You'd be able to get away with something a lot smaller. But yes, it will work just fine

What do you think will be a better option?

That model have dimming function, also.

If it has a dimming option you should be perfectly fine. But two ati par 38 bulbs one red one blue/white and you should be fine.

Mounting will also be difficult in a cabinet. Will have to mount from the top of the cabinet, which might interfere with maintenance since these things are not small.

I use a similar ViPar for my fuge. It works great and I've been happy with it. They are definitely big, which for me was a good thing. I have plenty of space and I like the light spread. If you're working in a cabinet, then such a bulky light might be a problem. They're convenient to dim if the light output is too much.

Its inside the tank stand, but stand is 72" long by 30" wide, I think there is enough room for the lights, and fuge basically will have its own door, so unless I'm working directly on the fuge, it won't interfere.
