Refugium Lighting

[phastroh]

I am using the Aqueon Proflex Model 2 Sump and I am putting a refugium in it.

It has a cover with a small opening for a light to shine on the live rock and cheato. Are there lights made for this out there. I can't really fine one.

I thought of removing the cover and hanging the light. My thinking was it would get more coverage.

Here is a link to the opening. Just scroll to the bottom and click the Model 2 since the different models have different size openings.

Can you set a small compact florescent light fixture on the top. I think that's what I'd do.

I suppose. So I don't need to have any special bulb in it.

I figured there was some T5 Bulb that was sold for refugiums.

You don't need a special bulb. I use a regular 23 watt household CFL bulb over my fuge.

Ok I will just get something that fits the space and not worry.
