H80 vs H160

[Johnson556]

Hi All,

I will be setting up a chaeto fuge for my Reefer250 this week. Fuge chamber is 10x8" with a water depth no greater than 8". Would you advise I snag an H80 or H160 for this application?

Thanks

I have the H160 in my reefer 170 and it is working out well.

I would also recommend the H160 or the AI Fuge light. The H80 is only 18W. BRS did a study and found the importance of Display tank: Fuge light ratio and it makes complete sense. If you have 400 watts of LED lighting on your display tank, and then only 18W on your fuge, where do you think you are going to get the most amount of photosynthesis? You need to give your fuge a fighting chance.
