Default Refugium Lighting

Hi,

A cheaper way is to pop by a hardware store and get one of those outdoor compact fluorescent lamps (the one of those from philips with built in ballast). You will probably need 1 to 2 20W to 30W lamps and a couple of lamp socket to get it working. Kelvin colour is around 2700K-4000K or so...perfect for refugium (you are trying to grow algae right ?).

PCs are cooler...but they are more expensive.
