Fuge Lighting help needed....

[devilboy]

hi all,
does cheato and live rock rubble need PC lights to survive? or could i get a way with a regular NO bulb? Along with that what about the lighting schedule for the fuge, 24/7? or opposite schedule of the main tank lighting??
Thanks

Chaeto and rock rubble does not need pc lighting to survive or thrive. Chaeto will thrive off from several $10 bulbs in a silver cone shaped refelctor. I like the 100 watt spiral bulbs from wal mart that use 25 watts power. You can also run your lights 24/7 or opposite of the main tank, your choice. I do 24/7 and have sucess.
