heard good things about those how much growth do you get with it though?Tunze chic because it is submersible, easy to mount anywhere, and doesn't get in the way. Will never go back to any other fuge light.
Light is not the limiting factor with growth. Water quality and nutrients level is. I throw out handfuls of chaeto and red gracillira every two weeks. Has nothing to do with light though. I could have used a 60w light bulb and would still have same growth.heard good things about those how much growth do you get with it though?
But do you get a lot of light spill into other chambers resulting in algae?Cheap clip on work light with a cheap grow light bulb. Chaeto loves it as does my wallet. I just see no need for a high dollar light for a fuge. I have 3 fuges thriving with these cheap lights. I guess if appearance is an issue maybe but it is a fuge right?![]()
The neptune light is designed to be right at the water surface so no light spill into other sump chambers.The Tunze chic submersible sounds good
Your chaeto don't turn white from touching the chic light?Tunze Chic: Because they are submersible, we gain much more effective lighting per watt due to a) inverse square law and b) no light loss from reflecting off the water surface. I lay one on top of my Chaeto and one one the bottom aimed upwards.

i would have to say it depends on the size of refugium your lightingWhat is the best refugium light? Please explain
