Sump light

[Maldonado]

Was wondering what's the best LED light fixture for a refugium?

 

[ZANYMASTER]

How big is the sump?

I'd recommend a PAR bulb. You can stick with a "regular" bulb from Home Depot or opt for a refugium-specific PAR 30/38 from a vendor like Coral Compulsion.

My Kessil H150 Purple Spectrum is the best thing I've bought for my tank in a long time. Also for $68 shipped off eBay, I can't complain! Grows more Chaeto in a week than my old clip on light would grow in a month or 2. I can't say enough good stuff about the light!

Nice! Thanks! I will be looking into this one!

I've been looking into some led plant grow lights on ebay. There are a few regular screw socket bulbs that have 5 3w LEDs on the end which also give off a purple light. Trying to win the bidding ones at a low price rather than use the buy it now links for higher.:lol_large
