I believe we can run very high light refugiums to maximize algae growth in small spaces. I have noticed a huge amount of growth over the last week after changing from a 25w daylight bulb to a 75w cob red led "grow light". This is a small 3g hob fuge - the light is 2 inches from the surface of the water.
Using this light - which can be had for $45 elsewhere. http://m.dhgate.com/product/75w-cob...lant-growth-hydroponics/194480658.html#pd-117
Most literature seems to suggest very low wattage lights for fuges - but as much wattage as you can for scrubbers. Why is this? Is anyone else running a high watt macro grow out - what are your results?
