Hi there, if you are interested, I have two Tunze Chic: the refugium one (pinkish color) and the 10000K.

Pretty happy with that combo to grow chaeto in a "long" refugium. Never tried them in a "square" one.

(also I am selling them if you are interested)

Previously I have used the Kessil H80 refugium. That was a good lamp as well, albeit a bit hotter.

There are tons of plant-growing LEDs on ebay/Amazon for $20-$30.

All you want is something with plenty of red spectrum for plants/Algae.

I use two of these (one on the side of my refugium which I place vertically, and the other above) and I literally trim 1/2 5G bucket of Chaeto every two weeks. These lights make the Chaeto grow super fast.

FYI: My Refugium is a 35G Cube, which is plumbed to another smaller 20G cube (housing a Deltec Skimmer and UV), which then returns into my 120G display. I have over 10 med/lg tangs, damsels, and anthias. I feed brine and mysis 2x day with 2x Nori clips once per day. Chaeto nutrient export is vital. The Deltec is also the best skimmer I've ever had.

Thank you so much for the good recommendations and all the info…

Thank you for the link, they are selling at $23.79 now. It appears to be an announcement regarding the Fall Debris pickup schedule and the availability of leaf bags for residents. I would like to share https://casinosanalyzer.ca/online-casinos/bohocasino.com website, where you can get reviews of boho casino sites and play on online casinos sites for real money by winning games there.

I've recently ventured into using a sump for the first time, and now that I've got the space, I'm excited to incorporate chaeto into it. In the process of setting up, I'm in search of a suitable refugium light. If you have any recommendations or options available, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Speaking of new ventures, I recently explored Lucky Koala Casino through https://nzcasinohex.com/online-casinos/luckykoala/. What stood out to me about this site were its user-friendly interface, extensive game selection, and generous bonuses. It's definitely worth checking out for anyone interested in online gaming experiences.

Hey there! I'm also into using a sump in my setup, and adding chaeto is a great choice for natural filtration. For a refugium light, you really want something that supports good plant growth. I'd recommend checking out LED lights that are specifically designed for refugiums—they usually offer the right spectrum for optimal chaeto growth.
By the way, when I'm not tinkering with my aquarium, I'm usually gaming or checking out casino reviews over at soceskecasino. It's always good to hear from someone else who shares the same hobbies! Let me know what light you end up going with. Happy reefing and gaming!
