lighting for a refugum

[thepollock]

what would be a good light for a refugum?

Check Melev's site, he has some good recomendations. Do a google search for Melev and Reef.

Depends on the size that you need to light. There are many diy options out there. I believe Home Depot has some compact flourescent flood lights that are supposed to work well.

I have not had a positive experience with the flood light fixtures. Heat buildup causes premature failues.

I personally would just be on the lookout for a cheap PC fixture to come up for sale from time to time.

I have the ones that Melev recommends. I have 4 of them over my 110 gallon fuge and they work super. The heat is minimal, and the growth of the macro and the mushrooms and cabbabge leather is super

I like these for the money. There made to put over saltwater, no monkeying around with a DIY flood or LOA etc.. And with the combo of bulbs I can get away with throughing critter or a frag in the sump for a few days as well Plenty of sizes to chose from depending on your sump.

this is highly dependent on the size and shape of the fuge.
