Hey all i am looking at some freshwater lights for my fuge as they are often cheaper, as i was looking at the tunze refugium light although people said it was too low powered and is quite expensive. Any thoughts would be great thanks.

Sure. Something more of the red spectrum seems to help, but if it's bright enough you should be fine. I'd suggest something with minimal spread so you don't light up areas that don't need light.
