Its_cchan Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I am looking for a cheap, not trying to break the bank, refugium light. Are there any cheap options that I can buy @ my local Walmart, Lowe’s, or Home Depot that would do the job. My sump is no larger than 10 gallons so it wouldn’t have to be a crazy big refugium light. Also, anyone have one for sale, preferably cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burningbaal Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I bought mine on ebay. It's a panel about 5" x 16" advertised as a grow light (as in hydroponics) and grows my chaeto great while shining through the side of my AIO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInside Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I use this, grows so fast I have to trim weekly and it's crazy cheap for how well it works. https://www.amazon.com/ACKE-Lights-Spectrum-Lights,Growing-Hydropoincs/dp/B01LX1EO3W/ref=sr_1_39?dchild=1&keywords=refugium+light&qid=1606539658&sr=8-39 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
