Refugium question

[Gwitness]

I know I can run clip on lights from Home Depot for my refugium, but I'm using my 60 gallon rimless as my refugium and I want to keep other live stock in it and make it look as nice as possible.....

What kind of light could I get for it to make it look good BUT still be good for my marine plants to grow at the same time?? I was thinking kessils but wasn't sure if they would be successful or not for growing the cheato or not??

If you want to go the Kessil route, the purple version would work great. May need two on a 60g. Just food for thought.

Good idea...Yeah I saw those Kessils but I figured that wouldnt look good....so pretty much I can't run a regular light on my refugium then right?

I was gonna keep some fish and possibly other things in the fuge but i don't want to add fish or anything in it, if it's just gonna be Home Depot light that won't look that good

Or even T5 bulbs?

Another couple options.

Those look pretty dang good!!! I'm gonna try and see what they look like over water! If they look good, I'll end up getting one of those probably!

Which one is better in your opinion? I'm assuming from the looks of it, I could run it with white light during the day to see fish or whatever other things in my tank and at night I could run the red light
