    Clip on lights work as long as the right bulb is being used...

    Are you using it as a frag grow out, a refugium, or just to light it up to see around the tank?

    Home depot sells a small 8w light that drills into the stand for 10 bucks, it's extremely small but puts out quite a bit of light. Wouldn't do really any good for growth of algae but it's bright enough to do matinence on the tank.

    Got mine from Louis at Elegent but TT has some and I was at Polly's the other day for the first time and they had a couple....


    For raid growth make sure to get the 65k model, I am using the 8k and I am happy with the growth rate..
