Hello all!
I've got a question regarding my plans to install a hang-on refugium on my 10 gallon nano reef. My refugium has already been ordered and is on the way. It will install on the side of my tank where water from my system will be pumped into the refugium where I plan on having 3 different compartments. The first compartment will house live sand and live rock, the 2nd will house chaeto macroalgae and the 3rd will house my chemipure elite. Due to the fact that this refugium will hang off the side of my display I'm wondering if I will need to install a clamp-on style light to help my macroalgae thrive? I want to avoid a situation where I have a light that has to stay on all the time that would spill over light into my main tank when the lights go out.
