Refugium Lighting

[fish]

I just wanted to pass on a simple sump based refugium lighting setup I have recently put together for pretty much no money. I found some 26 watt compact fluorescent 6500K bulbs at home depot (the type you use in home) and I found a nice little hanging reflector at Pet Smart in the reptile section. Put a hook screw into the stand over the refugium and just hung the reflector. Works great for a grand total of $30. Chaeto is growing well.

Before this I was using one of those clip on reflectors from home depot. Worked OK but I couldn't ever manage to set it up so it shone directly into my refugium.
