    So I've been light shopping and was wondering if you could use an led fixture that says its for plants and flowers for reef too?

    It's probably going to be a much warmer spectrum than reef lighting.

    Do you have a link to what you are looking at? It probably is not the right spectrum.

    It's a completely different spectrum and will not be good for your reef. It will grow algae really good though.
