Refugium light recommendation

[Raven63630]

What light(s) would you recommend for a refugium?
Would a cheapo Wal-mart special work(something like a 13 watt under counter fixture)
I have about 3" SB and some Chaeto and have no plans of adding anything else to it.

I went to walmart and bought a pair of GE 6500k 26w spiral fluorescents for like $7. I put one in a clip on $10 light and am getting great growth out of my fuge. So around $20 and your set.
I have been looking for a 20-26w 6500k spiral floodlight locally, with no luck

try this, its MO, but if melev's using 3 of them on that big of a sump/fuge, they must work pretty good. Make sure you read to the bottom since in the page he switched bulbs in 05/06.

Thanks,
I'll give that a try.
