Light suggestions for fuge?

[bluemonster]

I just built a fuge into a 20gal sump. The fuge area is around 12"X12" What would be a good small fixture to grow macro? Preferrably chaeto, maybe spag.macro? How many watts can fit into a small fixture? Ive seen a small fixture in a LFS that has (2) small 9watt bulbs. Would that do? Greatly appreciate any help.

I use one of those LOA 64w 6500K lights from Home Depot, works like a champ.

Is it small enough to fit across a 12" fuge area?

just use water proof endcaps when you put it together, and it'll be fine. I've been using mine for quite a while, I get a couple gallons of caluerpa out of my sump every other month
