hey, i have a 150g fowlr tank and a sump/fuge that is a 75g and a flow rate of 1200-1400gph. the sump is 2/3 refugium and i plan to put some chaetomorpha, ls and lr in it. i am not sure what to do for lighting it. i was planning on putting fixtures from home depot in because of the cost being a lot less. what kind of bulbs would i need and how many and how large?
 
I have a 55 gallon refugium on my 125 gallon reef tank, I have several types of Caulerpa species, chaetomorpha, and Maiden's hair (I think). For lighting, I just have a 20 watt 50/50 striplight on it. My refugium has been set-up for about 6 months now and the plants are doing great.
