ps2cho Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I want to get my chaeto to grow the best in my sump. What's the best light for it without spending much money? It doesn't make a big enough difference to spend a lot of money on. What do u guys think? Link to comment
Muraki Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Coral Compulsion's Refugium light. Does a great job. It is about $60 though. I setup a 5 gallon tank with random macro in it, just to grow things out.... It filled the tank with everything in less then a month. Including pest algae, but that was because I overfed the tank. 0 Nitrates though! Link to comment
Ryan_E Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I use a clamp light fixture that you can find in the automotive section of walmart ($15). The bulb I use is a GE LED that has a 5500K rating (5$). I don't have the growth rate Muraki is talking about, but my chaeto is definitely growing in my sump. Gone from a fist size to two fist sizes in about a month. I have a sponge doing well on it as well. Link to comment
