Will a 36watt PC lighting fixture be enough lighting for a refugium?
Thanks,

How large is the refugium? It should be plenty.

The tank is 50 gal. 36" long and only the middle part is going to be used, about 18" the rest is for the skimmer and the return pump.

The PC has one green and one white lamp. Does the green matter. I can get the just the white lamp, but it comes with the one side green and the other white. Its a real nice fixture. Alum. case with a clear lexan cover with a reflector.
