So what would be a cheap way to add some lighting down there. I would like to go with some type of MH or T5s and less than $100.
It is only 11 inches deep so I'm guessing a 70W MH would be plenty. I really like the 70W Viper but it is too pricey.
Full Version: Light suggestion for frags in sump?
So I have a 40gal breeder with a 29gal sump and have sectioned off within the sump a 6 gallon area that is being used as a refugium, roughly 11 inches cube. Right now I am just using a flood light to grow some macro, but would like to be able to grow some frags down there since the macro doesn't really grow that well anyways. I can also DIY stuff pretty well if you know of any good links.

70 watt would be ok.
PAR38. I've got a friend with two 20ks and he's growing macro like a fool as well as frags. Best thing is that they produce very very little heat.
