Lighting for chaeto?
by JCareyETexas Mon 15 Aug 2011, 5:37 pm
What kind of bulb is required for chaeto? Do I need a "grow" light or will a standard bulb work?

I use leds, anything in the 6500K spectrum will be fine, depending on how big an area you are lighting you can find led lights on ebay that work great.

I believe Big Blue was using one of those clamp-on type reflectors (used with heat lamps for chicks or pet reptiles) with a 6500K spiral CF bulb.

I used to use a clamp on shop light and a spiral compact florescent bulb. Grew chaeto like crazy. The whole set up at Lowes cost about 10 bucks. I used the sylvania spiral florescent bulbs, 6500k
This is my old setup.
