need a light for my new fuge i am building. it will be open so i was thinking of the clip on shop light from the local HD but for the life of me cant find a good bulb to put in it.
all they had in the store was your typical 60w plant grow light. will that actually work with cheato?

any suggestions?

thanks

I have the same light, but I got mine from Costco for 8 bucks. :)

Oh ya the light grows Chaeto like mad.

how did you guys install these lights? are they mounted somehow? on some sort of stand? just laying over the fuge?

Where can I buy this light on the net? That website only sells to certain areas/members.
