Light recommendation for CPR refugium

coogarts · 01/06/2006, 08:56 AM

I've ordered a HOB 13" CPR Fuge and I can't come to any conclusions on what kind of light to use. I know they sell units specifically for it, but I don't know if I wanna go that route. Any recommendations.

By the way, I'm going with the HOB because I'm going with a 20g that I'm purposely trying to keep low-tech.

I got mine from Marine Depot, but haven't received it yet. You can also order the lights specifically made for it from Marine Depot, but I'm curious as to whether there's a more cost-effective route to go.

I have had mine for sometime now and it is full of life. I opted to go with there lighting setup. The whole deal works well. You will need to get a piece of pvc that will drain farther into your tank so the bubbles with not be a pain. Give it time you will see what im talking about. PM ill tank a pic so you know what to get.
