Anyone here use this refugium light?

Growstar 150w ufo, $41

Fills my fuge to the brim with lush chaeto every couple of days. Couldn't be happier.

Ordered this fuge light tonight. An not wait to see how it effects my chaeto growth.
 
Thanks everyone for all the great info and recommendations. A number of good choices out there. I am surprised that with all the reading I do on this site that I was not aware of these options. Hope this thread helped some others too. Will follow up with my results.

Just an fyi, my chaeto basically stopped growing for like 2 days when I switched lights. I also acclimated it starting at 6 hours and adding an hour every night until I got back to 12hrs. I then ended up reducing it to 10hrs to fine tune my nutrient levels. Light is 6" off of the surface. Switched from marshydro par38 in home Depot reflector. Hope it works out for you.

Sounds like a good plan. Will follow your example.
 
Mars hydra. It's about 89 on Amazon and grows chaeto like mad. Also makes the house look like a mad scientists lab at night. Soo bright.
I use this. Works great but does not hold up real well to salt overspray. Gotta clean it or it will rust badly.
 
Probably too late ! I have the light You asked about in the beginning. It works very well for me ! I have it hanging over a 30 gl refugium .
 
Yes I bought the ufo light and though the fan is loud enough that I would not want it in my bedroom or livingroom, the light grows chaeto like a champ.
