Sump/ Fuge Lighting

HI,

I just setup my new sump/fuge and only have a 10 gallon stand flourescent light for it.

What lighting would be adequate for my sump to maintain macro-algaes?

Would I get a new fixture or could I just get a special bulb with my current ten gallon strip light?

Thanks

That sounds fine to me. I have s standard growlux 24" Flourescant in mine running 24x7 and have Rasmosa Calurpa growing in there. I have to rip handfuls out every so often and it has never gone sexual. I reckon your OK
