but it's just a silly little 5 watt christmas light, it would hardly be bright enough to grow algae.
The correct answer would be the frag directly under the 250watt light, it doesn't matter how much water is surrounding it

Well, the actinics don't count towards PAR, and 175w don't have the intensity to bring out the best colors. I didn't say it wasn't enough light, I said it wasn't enough to bring out the best color. And forget all about watts/gallon, it doesn't mean anything.

Well can I get most of the color out of them?
