Water flow in Sump

Way to far from the surface and not even directly under the light, should adj for both. Light seem high as well.

When I first started with chaeto I just placed between the baffles in my sump in the upflow section.

I just put that light in a couple of days ago. It was a clip on spiral florescent sitting on egg crate befor this. Thanks for the advice.

I just checked. The pump I have is a quiet one 1200. You can see it in the sump picture. Do you think it is enough pump?

Litemor industries sells the TCP bulbs as listed on Melevreef. They also have alternatives that work just as well for a cheaper cost as well under the "Standard" Brand name.

They are right under the Port Mann bridge.
