If you don't have a fuge with macro algae, you shouldn't need a light. But I agree on adding some cheato and using the light mentioned above, I use it and it works great. Here's a link to an online vendor. http://www.lightbulbsdirect.com/page...ctors/1P381951

Not a dumb question. You'll only need to light it if you are keeping macro algae. Don't bother if you aren't.
