Refugium light! does it matter on type

[Lex_510]

Hello, is there a difference between an Amazon grow light, Home Depot bulb, or a dedicated made Refugium light for a fuge. Is there benefits from a manufacture that specializes in refugium saltwater tanks with durability, par,intensity, and lighting color. And if so what is the best fuge out rn or does not matter. Thanks

In my opinion, no, it doesn't really matter. Will some expensive light yield "better" growth. . . maybe? will it make a meaningful impact in the nutrient export. . . I kind of doubt it.
