Hi All,

Im installing the Badfish Reef systems Center AIO for 20L aquarium and was wondering which one of the lights listed below would work to shine through the back of the aquarium into compartment 2 of the AIO to grow some algae?

was thinking one of these two lights

OR......

I appreciate any and all advice. Thanks

I use a simple 16 Watt compact fluorescent flood light 5400K and a cheap clip-on light fixture available from Lowe's or Home Depot.

+1, If I were building a new tank, I would do it exactly the same way.

Par 30 or 38 LED flood light in lowes or HD for $30 bucks, 5K color

I use a clip on fixture ($5.87 @ Walmart) and a CREE 9 Watt LED Bulb ($13.97 @ Home Depot). Could not be happier. Tossed my JBJ Nano Glow and haven't looked back. I get twice the growth that I ever did with other fixtures.
