I have a light fixture I'm not using that could fit. Its kind of like an old style rectangular aquarium strip light. It currently has a 26W Twist PC bulb installed. It could easily take a smaller bulb and be shaved to fit if necessary. I can text you a pic later.  Hug]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2015 16:11:10 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75743&PID=589910&title=hob-fuge-lighting#589910 <![CDATA[HOB fuge lighting : the problem is space, i don&#039;t...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75743&PID=589905&title=hob-fuge-lighting#589905 Author: sleepingdeep

the problem is space, i don't have room for a big aluminum cone reflector on my fuge. I'll try to upload some pictures tonight. i have maybe 4 inches of clearance between the wall and my tank that my fuge sits in.]]> Fri, 17 Apr 2015 15:41:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75743&PID=589905&title=hob-fuge-lighting#589905 <![CDATA[HOB fuge lighting : More economical than LED, is the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75743&PID=589891&title=hob-fuge-lighting#589891 Author: Mark Peterson

More economical than LED, is the "Home Depot Special" refugium light. The "special", as we call it, is a clip-on aluminum cone reflector and a 4-pack of daylight color twist PC bulbs. This combination costs less than half the price of an LED setup. The 4-pack gives you 4 years of light. According to statistics, you will not even own this setup 4 years from now. Also, these fluorescent PC bulbs in the Daylight color provide a better color spectrum for Macroalgae growth.

That's my 2 cents.

I have a CPR HOB fuge http://www.marinedepot.com/CPR_AquaFuge_2_Hang_on_Refugium_Hang_On_Refugiums_Sumps-CPR-CR1721-FIRFEB-vi.html

that i need ideas on how to light. I know CPR makes lights specifically for their fuges, but the problem is i have a hydor slim skim in the back of mine, which is too tall and would get in the way of the light sitting properly.

I need something that would either rest on the edges of the fuge, or clip on to the wall of the fuge. Obviously i'd prefer to go LED since they last longer, but am open to any ideas. I'd really like to start growing chaeto, but until i get this figured out i cant go anywhere.

Thoughts?
