Refugium light opinion

[KyleV]

I am wanting to scrape the paint off the middle chamber of my biocube 29 for a light and make it a refugium. I've seem it done with clip on spiral bulbs behind the stand but I have limited space and want as little heat as possible.

At HEB plus I found this strip for $10 with 9-1watt LEDS.

Does anyone out there have any better suggestions or reasons why this wouldn't work?

Thanks,

Kyle

Looks cool to me, plus it's only $10!

I have seen lesser LEDs doing well on refugiums like that.

theres a flood light with like 32 leds 6500k if u break the glass all ur left with is a fixture with leds. i used it for some time but took it down when my 1.5 yr old wanted to put it closer to the water

I've never used leds but figured it is such a small area the output would be fine.

Without a skimmer a small fuge should be a good addition to the system.

I say go for it...
