Lighting for sump/ refugium

I am in the process of upgrading my 55gal reef to a build in 250gal octagon reef. I will be running ~8000gph water flow and a 50 gal sump/ refugium. My refugium will house a 4-5" live sand bed, live rock and micro algae. My question is what kind of light do I need for the Refugium? Will 48W of T5 HO be good enough? Thanks

You could keep coral under those lights,they will work great for micro algae.
Try to find 6500K bulbs.
