Refugium - LOA 65 Watt or Custom SeaLife 32 Watt PC

[MacGyver]

What would be the better choice for lighting over a 16inch x 16inch x 16inch refugium? The CSL has a 10,000K Premium Daylight and Ultra Actinic bulb. I think the LOA is a 6500k bulb.

Seeing as how I've never had a LoA 65W unit last more then a few months, I pick the CSL

I have a LOA fixture still going strong. (I did however drill a dozen vent holes.)

It depends on your budget. LOA = $30. If it won't be seen (like if it's in your stand) I'd get one.

If your fuge is going to be seen, I'd get the CSL. I HATE the color of the LOA beside my CSL tank. It looks dingy compared to my 10k + 7100blue lit tank.
