They have submersible lights!?! That's good to know! I had no idea such a thing even existed :) There are so many awesome (and very helpful) pieces of equipment that I keep learning about. Silly me....a little more than 6 months ago I actually thought that after buying my BioCube & heater that I'd have all the equipement I'd ever need! Little did I know.... lol
I need a 'blank check' for this hobby :)

Agree you can add the submersible, may add some heat to the system so that may or may not be a consideration, you can also scrape some of the film off the outside of the back wall and attach a light on the outside.

ahhhh...I wish I had a refugium! From what I understand they are a wonderful method of filtration. Unfortunately I am completely clueless when it comes to building stuff. Are there places that make/sell them?? If so, what would the cost be?
Wow, I never see any! I definitely need to add some. Does an overpopulation of pods cause any problems?
I have a wet/dry filtration system in the Biocube, wouldn't the micro algae in the sump just die with out any light?
There are lots of DIYs online where people have converted HOB filters into refugiums. You can probably get one on CL for cheap. Even the ***** cheap models that people use on their QTs will work. Just take the lid off and clip on a small desktop lamp.
