Enought light for fuge?
Hey everyone,
Trying to see if you think I have enough light in our fuge for Chaeto to do well. The fuge area is ~ 30x20x20. Have the following LEDs on there: Build My LED - XB Fuge LED Chinese Full Specturm 165 Watt Full Spectrum (3watt x 55 - White, Blue, Green, Red, etc...) Here is a video:

I use a 150w HPS bulb and growth is insane. As Tim The Toolman would say... "more power! Argh Argh Argh Argh!" www.everydayreef.com

Over my fuge roughly that size I use a diy 6 3w Cree neutral light stick I thermal epoxies to a 1.25" aluminum square tubing and use a 18v 500 mA wall wort and get crazy calupera growth.
You could prog get by with a CFL and a clip on light. What you have seems excessive |

Was thinking about adding another cheap Chinese LED I guess I'll see if the Chaeto starts to float tomorrow or the next day...
