I have my refuge set up on a reverse daylight schedule. So when my main lights of my Reef tank turn off my lights in my refuge turn on. Im using some cheap LEDs I hade laying around but I think a clamp on light fixture and a plant bulb from the hardware store make a great refugium light. |

I agree. At this point in time, considering the high cost of LED lighting, what we have come to call the "Home Depot Special" ($8 aluminum cone reflector with a $3 Daylight ~26W color twist PC bulb) is a very effective and economical RDP Refugium light. This is one of my all time favorite setups.   ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member
