chaeto light for a 14 gal biocude

Hey everyone I was wondering what would be the best way to cook my chaeto if I have it in my compartment of my biocude. the outside back of the aquarium is see through so I could have a light on the back but what light is best? and most effective?

Any comments or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

 

Look into the lighting fixtures for pico tanks, see link below.

I like the clamp on smaller lights, much better than anything you can rig up from Lowes or Home Depot.

But both will so the same thing.

 

I have the same tank, Bio cube 14g and I started using a GU10 led with 3x3w leds and my cheat grows pretty quick, It will fill the compartment and start growing out of the water. I pulled enough out to lightly fill a gallon zip lock.

ebay gu10 cool white seems to work good, There easy to wire up and work great!

 

I just spent a total of $9 on Ebay on a MR16 3W cool white LED bulb, connector, and 12V power supply. If it works like it should, then definitely a nice cheap and effective bio-cube 'fuge light I hope to have everything for this weekend to get it wired up.

 

I think the mr16 are the same as the gu10 just a different style of connector, I used eggcrate and made a little "L" bracket and cut out a hole so the light housing would fit snug and used a few drops of crazy glue to hold it in place. Then just placed so that the light shined in through the rear glass.
