lightings for chaetos

[Joeteng]

I manage a 3.2w 40bulbs led for my chaetos and anyone know if it is enough for it in my sump? I on it 24 hours!

3.2w x 40bulbs should be super bright for chaeto. Many folks just use normal florescent lighting.

total 3.2w not 3.2 per bulb. I guess it is not enough

In that case, a single 3W LED spot light would probably perform better than what you currently have on a small patch of chaeto. But cost may be something you would want to consider too.

Example:

but is it enough? will it grow? cos 3w is damn small amount of light

I believe the light intensity of 1x3W is different from 3.2W from 40 LED. I also did mention "a small patch". A nano scale example would be having it installed over a modded HOB filter containing a small clump of chaeto. Regardless, you should goggle for "chaeto lighting". Search results will contain much info which you're looking for.
