So i want to run some chaeto in my 29 biocube in the second chamber, i got the intake ref basket for it.. So i want to get a light to stick on the glass in the back. I want a cheap light that i can just use and hopeful it works... What do u guys recommend!

I bought a used JBJ nano light and it was great till it suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.
Now I have an LED spot light clamped to the back shining on my DIY turf scrubber.

you will want as red of a spectrum as possible. after trying different bulbs in my fuge and algae scrubber the best is honestly a 150w lightbulb you will want something in the 6500k or warmer range. found the spotlights for recessed lighting at dollarama work great as well. If you use led you really wont be getting the most out of your chaeto unless you get a macro led light (lots of red led)

I am planning to get IM refugium light that uses magnet. It is very compact.
However someone else gave me idea of building macro algae reactor so I might not go with using chamber 2 as refugium.
