Light for refugium

[Jason McK]

What is the best light for a refugium. I'm looking to convert my Frag tank into a Fug. What fixture should I get

I would go with a Sunblaze T5 fixture. Just two bulbs should do.

For a refugium all you need is a 6500K light. Some clip on light with standard spiral compact fluorescent bulbs works fine. unless of course you want it to look pretty out in the open. You could probably get away with a NO fluorescent fixture with daylight bulbs if you want it to look nicer.

Rona sells something like a 24W 5500K spiral CF spotlight bulb with its own enclosed glass cover and built in reflector. That's what I use.

It's goning to be a display/refugium. Something for seahorses maybe

So I want it to look good

I just picked up a used 3' coral life aqua light for $40. should be more than enough light. But my fuge is a 55 gal acrylic, that going over my tank, going to gravity feed pods to my display.
