Hi All,
I currently run a Mini Aqua-light with (2) 9W 10k CF bulbs that sit on egg crate above my CPR HOB refuge. I have phos remover and carbon in the intake chamber....sand, chaeto, rock frags & a few mushrooms & GSP in the main chamber and a couple zoa frags in the final, return chamber.
Firstly I'm not certain I have enough light? It seems as if I do but this thing puts off some major HEAT!
I currently use (2) of the lights below for moonlights in the DT and thought of getting (2) of the 10k versions of them for my fuge to reduce heat and because they look much sleaker and might have less light spillage at night.
Would (2) of there be enough for my little 2.5 gal HOB fuge?
Thanks!
