I have seen alot of fuge lights what I am looking for is an LED light that I can use in or on the fuge to help with macro algae growth(specifically Chaeto) right now im using a nano led light from a Deep Blue Professional 7.8g cube tank. It doesnt seem to be doing much for the growth of the Chaeto and it lights my display tank up almost like daylight when its on after the lights go out. Any suggestions on a smaller light that might work as well or better without the bleedover lighting into the tank?

Thank you I am just curious if the tinted plastic used on the AC 70's now would affect the light enough to hurt chaeto growth.

I couldnt give you positive answer on that, but to be safe, I cut out a whole with a dremel on mine

I saw another thread I will link it when I get home where the top was cut out and replaced with a clear peace of lexan. I think I'm going to do a single white led from rapid
