I am going to use a Current Orbit Marine light for my refugium to grow chaeto. How should I set the channels? Should it be more blue or both set to 100%?

Crank it to 100! Red light might be ideal but blue light will still grow algae. It grows it in our displays just fine 😉

Yup.. if that doesn’t work great try a hydroponics light. When I had a refugium I used a cheap one off eBay and it worked wonders.

On my old tank I used a daylight CFL and worked great. I have this LED light laying around and thought if it'll work why not put it to use. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.

I bought this
light on Amazon
. It was fairly cheap, claims to be waterproof, and looks like it may work OK. Once I get some Chaeto, I can provide some feedback.

Definitely write up a review. Will be interesting to see how well it works.
