keeps that mass of plants alive

 

[Craigar]

My refugium is 48"x24 would I only need one or two?

10/20/30 watt?

 

[scotty b]

how deep is it?

 

[Craigar]

The water level is going to be 16~20"

 

[Craigar]

Probably two or three inch sandbed sosay 13~17" of water

 

[scotty b]

I would say 2 or 3 to gt a good spread of light

 

[Craigar]

Of what wattage

 

[scotty b]

are you growing any red macros ? if not i say 10w

 

[Craigar]

Like to.be able to grow all of the above

 

[scotty b]

I would say 2 20w would work fine

 

[sethsolomon]

Craig you will need 1x 30w and 1x 20w The 30w you will want a cool white 6500k -10000k and the 20w in the 4000k ballpark.


So in the terms of LED floodlights on ebay you will want a 30w cool white and a 20w warm white.


If you feel like getting creative order this LED and find the cheapest 20w flood you can and swap the LED's for a 20w cold white

Over my fuge I run 3 of the 10 watt 6500 K units. You can stop by after work one day and check it out if you want.
