What light can I use for the fuge on my solana? I have live rock rubble and chaeto. I have a clamp on wal mart fixture with a regular energy saving bulb, do I need some sort of special light? Its a small chamber where I have the chaeto in

Nope, you dont really need a 'special' light, whay you have should be fine. Youll get the best growth with a lower temperature bulb, idealy around 5.5/6.5K...
Its like a 5 watt bulb
i ran one of those spiral daylight bulbs and my cheto grew like a mad weed...

This light comes in a pink color and I've been told it does wonders. I am still waiting for a little cash to pick one up to try. (Maybe I should stop buying coral?![]()
