![]() I just set up a refugium growing chaeto a few weeks ago and I'm using one of the swirly cfl daylight bulbs. I'll have to disagree that they do nothing , as my chaeto has tripled in size in 3 weeks. However I do plan to get a better light soon , i was actually looking at that same light (Evergrow)

That being said, just the economy spiral bulbs that you use in your home light fixtures usually wont work that well.

![]() This is true. Grow bulbs and high wattage do make a big difference. Only issue with the CFL (from my understanding) is that you need to replace them every few months

And as for replacement times...mine are 4 years and counting at 8 hours a day and still doing fantastic. Once again though...mine are actual grow CFL bulbs. Not common house bulbs.

![]() I currently use a Par20 6w LED from HD which is actually growing it surprisingly well. I have a par38 daylight over it previously and it grew very well, the bulb died recently so I just swapped in the par20 I had laying around. Given the current growth I don't feel the need to swap it just yet.
