Refugium Light

[Jim]

I bought two 8-1/2" clip on reflectors at Home Depot for my refugium. What bulbs are best for this? I was thinking something in the 5K color but most regular bulb are around 2700 color. Also what watt bulbs should I get?

Just put one of these in my fuge, and growth has gone through the roof. They have them at Home Depot also.

Ok thanks. but why that bulb?

I have one also. Very good so far.

It's 5100k. 120w equivalent. The r40 reflector protects the bulb from splash.

Booo ya.. What a great deal. How much do those bulbs go for?

Or 5500k that's what I had on mine, and the growth was insane :wink1:
