Colurpa lighting?

[woolfolkd]

Does any body know the lighting needs for macro algea (grape colurpa, sawtooth colurpa, red kelp,etc...)? I am going to be building a 20 gallon fuge inside my stand and need to know if a basic grow light will suffice. Thank you very much for any information.:thinking:

A basic flourescent light will work slightly better than a grow light and they're cheaper.
Two or 3 bulbs on a 20 will provide more than enough lighting for Caulerpa.

i seem to have good results with a single 55w pc bulb over my 20 gal fuge for growing macro algea.

I think it is a good idea setting up a fuge, are you designing your own?
