Best lighting for Fuge

soccerbag · 07/24/2008, 01:26 PM

Any ideas for a cost effective light for my fuge? Very little live rock, mostly algae. I'm looking for best bang for the buck. Clamp on or otherwise...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I use something similar, a GE 6500 natural light CF screwin with a clampon shoplight fixture... that is now hanging down. Cost me about 11 bucks total for two bulbs and the fixture.

here is the fixture

I went to lowes and bought the same fixture, look for the sunlight bulbs instead of daylight, its something like 5100k, I think its an orange box. My cheato size tripled in 2 weeks.
