Nanocube 24g Fuge Light

[deegang]

Hi folks

I have recently setup a Nanocube 24g reef tank and it is currently nearing the end of the cycling process.

I have read many posts about turning the rear middle chamber into a fuge for cheato or similar macro algae.

The only trouble i am having is finding a suitable light source.

I have come across this submersible 10w, can anyone tell me if it will be suitable or not?

If this is unsuitable can anyone point me in the right direction where i can purchase a suitable light in the UK.

Thanks.

Gary

I dont think that light is suitable. Steelhealr did something like what you talked about. http/www.fishforums.net/content/Nano-Ree...no-Reef-Set-up/

I have opted for the light which will be mounted to the exterior of the tank after cutting away the vinyl layer for chamber 2.

I think this should do the job nicely?

Any comments

Appears small...there is a four tube fluorescent table top lamp which grows chaeto like wildfire......see my thread above. SH
