Lighting for AquaFuge Refugiums

[SoKaL ReeFiN]

I just purchased a 13" AquaFuge refugium and wanted to get this CORALIFE MINI MIGHT fixture. I was wondering if anyone knew much about these lights? They come with 2 x 9 watt pc bulbs. If I were to get it, should I use 2 daylight bulbs or should I use 1 daylight and 1 actinic? They fit on top of the Aquafuge pefectly. The fuge is 4.5" while this lighting fixture is 5".

What kind of light to you have on your display tank? I have MH, and the light that shone over the back of the tank was enough to light the fuge.

PC lighting.. so I can't really do that with my fuge.

I ordered the Jali light from www.ameka-aquatics.com (CPR's sister site) that come with stands that CPR makes for them and the other lights I looked at did not come with stands, their stands increase the structural integrity of the fuge and with the 12" I am not sure you need to worry about that much but I have the 24" and there was a problem with some of them so I want the extra help of the stands to keep it from bowing. I believe they come in small medium and large sizes and the price is not out of line with most anybody else.

They are 13 w and 18w PC, I leave mine on 24/7 took the fish a couple days to get used to the light being on all night but they have all settled back down to a regular nightly routine.
