Sump lighting for "All purpose" use?

[Dom274]

I was wondering what are good light recommendations for a fudge section of a sump that currently only houses rubble/rock. I already have a Skimz macro algae reactor housing chaeto that takes up half of my fudge - My issue is I can't decide to do with the other half... Right now, I just have it full of rubble/good live rock and an old small cfl fudge light. I'm considering just leaving the one side full of rubble and adding a small frag rack in there for temp storage (Couple of weeks to a month) of frags healing. I know the Kessil Tuna Flora H80 is a very popular choice, but if I'm not really growing algae with it, it seems like there might be a better option...

It seems like you more want it to be a frag section. In that case I would go with a kessil A80. Tiny and will keep the corals happy with more than enough light in such a small area.

I’m not sure why you would want another refugium when you already have macro algae growing through the reactor. I would maybe turn it into a frag rack depending on the size and if you can put a wave maker or id just throw in some media like some ceramic bio balls or the brick version. If you decide to get rid of the reactor, then you can turn it into a full blown refugium. But why take care of two when you have reactor that’s already doing it’s job.
