Fuge lighting?

[R_Hudson]

Ok so i a finally able to start putting my new tank together and currently I'm working on my sump. I went and bought a cheap clip on light from lowes today and my question is how much light do I need to keep chaeto the light is rated for up to a 75w bulb? I would post pics and start abuild thread but our computer is down and I'm working from an iPhone

I have used them with success. I would try to get a small halogen bulb that’s somewhere in the 5500K to 6500 k range if you can.

Thanks Jarrod. I will be making another trip to lowes after work, I need to get another glass baffle cut anyways. One of them was cut about an 8th inch long and shattered when I tried to put it in, but that's a different story

There are also several compact flourescent lights for outdoor lighting (I think starting around 27 watts) that are 5500K or 6500K. I've been using one I got at Home Depot (55 watts) for two years. I think the bulb and fixture is less than $35 but don't really remember.
