Refugium light replacement suggestions

[aaron186]

I have a Red Sea 425 xxl that I’m starting up. My refugium light, a Kessel A160, is a carry over from a previous tank that ran for 4 years and sat in the garage for another year. It shorts out and needs replaced. It was used in a larger refugium previously. My current fuge has a usable area of about 9in x 9in and 10in deep. The goose neck puts my light about 9 inches off the water.

Should I replace the light with another A160? Is there a better option for this size fuge?

These work great! And priced right.

i’ve found the submersible lights work much better at growing chaeto..,
perhaps this could be an option for you

there’s a red one too,
but i prefer the white (can keep a frag rack this way)
and it still grows chaeto like weeds!

You can have it repaired by Fix Reef.

I looked at this but it’s bit too long. I have a dosing section blocked off so that I can add 2 part with the power head and not have cheato get into the pump. I could move that powerhead to the skimmer section but I’m concerned that the additives will just get pulled up into the skimmer
