    Where can i get a Good little light to put on a sump? Something that will be bright enough to put frags in the sump and grow chaeto?

    I use the full spectrum energy efficiency bulbs and a socket from Home Depot $10. My macro grows like crazy!

    Same. No reason to get fancy with an algae light! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

    Also what I run but I don't have any frags in my sump.  If you are planning on softies in the sump you'll be fine but I wouldn't put SPS (and maybe LPS too) in there with this setup...plus my chaeto grows so fast it would probably be quite annoying for any corals...just my $.02 worth!

    I like to use a clamp light with a reflector shield surrounding the bulb. Makes it easy to install onto the edge of the sump and direct the light right above your plants.
