In my seemingly endless quest to find a suitable fuge bulb for my chaeto (and now newly added tang heaven), I think I may have finally found it.

The last bulb I was using was the local fave Philips Daylight CF bulb. My chaeto slowly turned to mush.

I recently got a new clump from a friend, and I tried out a new bulb too: Sylvania 65W Spot Grow.

Instantly, the chaeto has doubled in a couple of weeks! And the Tang Heaven seems to be hanging on as well (only the very bottom parts arent doing as well). I think the key is to manually turn the algae at least once a day so that when the fuge light comes on, the lower portions will get more light.
