Fuge light?

[reefmaster719]

What kind of light will work for a fuge to grow macro?

 

[Cake_Boss]

Any kind really. I use a 5000K light (LG LEDs from walmart, $40). I would use 6700K below

What's the cheapest one I can find at the store?

 

[Smiley]

walmart carries a 6500k cfl bulb, its like 24 watts... homedepot or lowes have par30 at 5000k for like $19.

I use a shop light that clamps on with a 6500 bulb

the lights of america fixtures at wally world or depot use the 24w ginormous bulb works great

and a bulb

 

[reefmaster719]

Will that work though? That's exactly the price range I was looking for. Also does macro or chaeto actually work good.

 

[reefmaster719]

And how long should it be on?

 

[FinsUp]

It's what they use on the fuges at Elite... which is why I use it on mine.

 

[reefmaster719]

And 6500 or 5000k is fine
