Product Description
Neptune GRO Refugium Light - Flat Mount
Neptune GRO Refugium Light - Flat Mount is a compact 20W LED refugium light designed to grow macroalgae such as Chaetomorpha while mounting securely to a flat sump edge or stand support.
GRO Refugium Light for Macroalgae Growth
The Neptune GRO is built specifically for refugium use, with a flat rectangular light panel that spreads output across a broad area instead of concentrating light into a narrow spotlight. This helps create more even light distribution across rectangular refugium chambers and supports healthier macroalgae growth with less risk of hot spots.
Its spectrum is focused on wavelengths commonly used for photosynthesis, making it well suited for growing Chaetomorpha and other common refugium macroalgae used for nutrient export. By promoting macroalgae growth, the GRO can help support natural nitrate and phosphate uptake as part of a complete reef filtration strategy.
Neptune GRO Flat Mount Features
- Specialized 20W LED refugium light for growing common macroalgae
- 84 LEDs in four colours for broad refugium coverage
- Focused spectrum emphasizes 455-460nm and 620-670nm wavelengths
- Flat rectangular design helps reduce hot spots compared with narrow spotlight-style refugium lights
- Covers a refugium area up to 18" x 24"
- IP64 water-resistant design helps protect against splashes and salt spray
- Can be placed close to the water surface to improve light use and reduce unwanted light spill
- Plugs directly into a DC24 port on an EnergyBar 832 or 1LINK module
- Can operate without an Apex when used with the optional Neptune PS-DC24 power supply
- Works with any Apex model including the Apex Classic family when powered through compatible Apex hardware
Flat Mount Refugium Installation
The Flat Mount version includes a flexible gooseneck and flat clamp mounting bracket. This bracket is intended for flat edges such as the edge of a sump, refugium chamber, or compatible stand support. The flexible gooseneck allows the light panel to be positioned over the refugium area so light can be directed where macroalgae growth is desired.

Power and Compatibility Notes
The GRO plugs into an available DC24 port on compatible Apex equipment such as the EnergyBar 832 or 1LINK module. A power supply is not included. To run the GRO as a standalone refugium light without an Apex DC24 connection, use the optional Neptune PS-DC24 power supply.
Choose the Flat Mount version when the light will be clamped to a sump rim, refugium edge, or other suitable flat mounting surface. For installations where the light needs to clamp to existing plumbing above or behind the sump, use the Pipe Mount version instead.
Setup Directions
Attach the flat clamp bracket to a secure flat edge near the refugium, position the gooseneck so the light panel is aimed across the macroalgae area, and connect the GRO to a compatible DC24 port or optional standalone power supply. Keep the light positioned to avoid unnecessary light spill into the rest of the sump and set the refugium photoperiod according to the aquarium's nutrient export needs.
