refugium light + Chaeto

[Swirlygig]

I am looking for a cheap light for a refugium....any suggestions on what to get...? or if someone has one available?

I bought a 17 gallon rubbermaid garbage can...I know not a big base, but it is what will fit best...

I just want to grow Chaeto to reduce my phosphates, so not looking for a large area base, but it will be deep...

Does anyone have some extra Chaeto I can have also?

Thx!

What wattage bulb would you say?

 

[Trueno22]

umm i would go with the equivalent of a 100 watt. Just fine one with a 6500k rating.
