check the link in this thread

i use a 17W Philips compact fluorescent daylight bulb from HD, i get great macro growth and they make a smaller version too.

I just switched to one of these. Only had it on there a month or so. Seems to be doing well. I have never had algae so thick and green. Even with a 150 MH over the sump.

I'm using a Grow Light LED Panel. It's 12" x 12" x 1" and only uses 14W. It's suppose to be equivalent to a 250W halide for growing as it only provides the blue and red spectrum that plants use.

I didn't think it would work well but I tried it and it work really well, my macro is growing better than ever before. And it only costs $50! Combine that with it's low heat generation, low power consumption and 15 year life and it's hard to beat.

Haha that guy just beat me to it!

that looks like quite the little unit.. i may have to invest in one of those..

for the LED panel, is your fuge about the colour of the picture in the link?

Not really. More like Mega HO actinics. Things glow and grow.
