    Is this light ok or my refugium? Some light comes out into the main compartment where live rock is. I am using a 26 watt 6500K CFL bulb.
    SHould I get a smaller fixture that can't shine into the other areas?

    Thanks

    If you don't its more then likely you'll get algae growth in your sump area.
