refugium light question

[kasha]

hi,
so what strength light would you run for some cheato and mangroves? i currently have a reflector (http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page/001/PROD/FLSPCF_P30/1P381951)

which is supposed to be 85W equivalent?anyways i'm not sure i see much growth. my mangroves have def not started growing. my light cycle is 14 hours in the refugium.

so should i use something with more watts and with a ballast? like http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=552

thanks

That first one is fine.14 hours is also my length of light time as well.

The 5100k is the one I am using on my chaoto it is also the same one that was recomended my "melev" fyi...

mangroves take a while before they start growing leaves
