Just got this in and fits on my HOB nicely. I was wondering if anybody has any experience using this as their refugium light? I havn't seen any reviews but I did find one pic. I don't know the specs of this, only that it is 2.16 watts. I'm looking to just keep cheato. If not, atleast I have a nice moonlight at night for my 5 gallon :fun2:

Anybody with experience?

Looks pretty cool. I plan on using a 36 watt 12 cree 6500K PAR 38 for a future fuge. It's not very powerful, but at that depth that you are showing it used it should be strong enough to grow cheato or caulerpa.

Just be sure to keep the acrylic clean so the light can penetrate well.
