I wanted to post my success with this light, and open this to discussion. I know lighting is a hotly debated topic, and i like knowing what others are doing. I basically got a clamp light from Lowes, removed the reflector and stuck an Ultra Bright LED GE Light 200w replacement (32w light) and this is the growth i got on my chaeto in around three and a half weeks.
Light isn't even installed properly as you can see and i am getting amazing growth. I believe the bulb was 24$ and it's 5000k. For reference my sump is 10 gallons, and the light seems so strong that it's bleaching a little bit at the very center. If anyone is like me, and is unsure if this bulbs will grow seaweed be assured you'll have to remove some like crazy.
