Refugium Lights

What is everyone using for the Refugiums, I plan on putting chaeto or live sand in there, haven't totally made up my mind on that yet... Interested in some ideas..

 

I use a simple $5 clamp on light with one of those twisty lightbulbs

 

Clamp on light with a 6500 K Compact flourescent bulb from Home Depot.

 

right now im running a coralife compact florescent bulb in the stock hood but am planning to put a few LEDs over the fuge when i build the light for my DT

 

Do you run the light 24 hours?

 

yep

 

If you plan on having macro algae I would suggest running your lights about 18 hours a day.  The algae needs some downtime also.

 

I also use the clamp on light and a 6500k flourecent bulb

 

The macro Algae sounds like a good thing to have in there, do I have that with Live sand or chaeto ? Or by itself?

 

You can have both but the chaeto (or other macro algae) is a must.
