Do you need some special kind of light for an algae scrubber or is any kind fine ? bulbs, led or whatever ?
Compact flourescents work, but you need to get or make a good reflector. 2700 kelvin 23 watts are popular, but you need to replace them every 3 months or so. I used them and then changed to cheap Chinese growlight LEDS and they work ok also. The best performing ones are the 660nm LEDS that Floyd uses in his scrubbers, but no doubt he will be along shortly to tell you more. Welcome btw
