Refugium light is an important part in affecting the biological process of photosynthesis of plants or marine algae in your tank. For plants and marine algae, light is a very important factor in photosynthesis. Without sunlight, photosynthesis will be very slow in happening and will not be able to produce the much-needed energy for your marine or plant life. So, what is the best and most ideal source of light for these organisms? If you are a beginner in the world of freshwater aquariums, then the answer is definitely LED light for your aquatic plants and reef aquarium.

In a reef tank or any other freshwater tank that contains plants, algae, or other marine organisms, you definitely need a high power supply to make these organisms reproduce and grow faster. But, you do not really have to use the most powerful power supply for it to affect the process in photosynthesis in the algae and plants in the tank. In that case, the best-performing LED refugium light is a precious add-on to your beautiful tank to sustain the marine tank's delicate environment. You can find high performance LED grow lights at many online stores and even in some home-improvement stores.

There are many spectrums of illuminating light that we could use for the photosynthesis process in our aquarium. Spectrums such as CF bulbs are fluorescent and emit very little light but produce heat; HPS bulbs are high output but the light is very bright and very expensive; and finally, there are the fluorescent lights, which are great for the cost but also produce very little light. If you want to have the best of all spectrums, then the best choice would be the LED refugium light. It is very powerful and produces great amounts of light, it is very affordable too.
