I used one - I had no growth. When I swapped to a par38 fuge LED bulb - everything doubled almost overnight. It's awesome! Mangroves, chaeto and my dragons breath are growing substantially, and I have it on for 12 hours per day.

I tried those curly cue lights for over 6 months in 2 brood cages on 2 sides of my ATS and managed to grow a bunch of slime algae and little else. I'v since yanked it out and trying to find some time to set up this light I got from Nick over some mangroves. It looks awesome!

Use Daylight spectrum CFL bulbs, but also use 6500k LED bulbs bought off DealsXtreme over my sump.
