Refugium lighting

[Dfrashid]

So I bought a kessil a150w light ocean blue hoping to use it to light my refugium once I get it up and running I'm waiting for my tank to mature more being it's only 7 weeks young any advice I'd highly appreciate it and thank you in advance

What advice do you the light kessil A150 will it work for a refugium light?

Yes its fine as a refugium light. Maybe run it at 75% power or something to increase the longevity. As for spectrum, I'd have it on a setting with more white (as its easier for you to see).

Hi I'm in the somewhat the same situation. I need a light for my refugium. I just purchased 2 A360x's for my display tank, but I'm not sure what I should look at for the refugium. Is the H160 refugium flora a good choice>

This way cheaper and works great

This is way cheaperer and works great


but if you already have the fancy light you might as well use it. . .

Agree with above probably does not need to be at full power and should be set to full spectrum. . . or purple/pink for style points. I run my fuge light 12 hours at night, opposite my reef lights.

How big is this refugium?
I bought a cheapish Petworx light for my refugium and the algae growth is fine.

I got a grow light from Home Depot and it seems to work just fine my a refugium in my sump. Maybe $12?
