Can a fuge have too much light?

[JB33t]

I’m going to be setting up a 5g display fuge on my 25g SPS tank and looking at lighting options, I thought of the kessil grow light however that seems way too powerful, I’m leaning towards vipraspectra grow lights not sure if I can use this on chateo, I assume so. Can I get some input please

Personally I think that's too much, I'd go for something smaller!

Just has to outcompete you dt lights.

Smaller fuge or smaller light?

That light is more powerful than a Kessil.

Just a screw-in daylight/plant CLF in a clip on reflector can grow whatever macro that you want.

Thank you for your suggestion, even though it is LED have you noticed any significant heat? That looks like a good light to throw on to the side of the fuge

Exactly what I use as well and it does get a little warm

Never had any issues with heat and the higher Watt version will provide plenty of light for growth in the fuge. Plus it’s waterproof which is nice.

I do keep two small fans running in my cabinet to push air out and keep circulation, but I haven’t noticed a lot of heat from mine

No problem. I snagged two usb laptop fans on Amazon for like $15 bucks. So far they have been great for that application
