Aquarium Lighting

Aquarium Lighting

Aquarium Lighting aims to simulate the natural light, both day and night, in an aquarium. Proper Aquarium Lighting keeps the tank inmates stress free, active, growing, and healthy, while also enhancing their colors. Different types of natural habitats, different depths of occurrence, different physical requirements vis-à-vis an aquarium’s fauna and flora, are the usual determinants of the kind of lights to be deployed in a tank. Fresh Marine offers a vast range of Aquarium Lighting suiting to different tank requirements. The ensuing discussion deals with some of these.

Lighting Ballasts. Aquarium Lighting Ballasts are equipment, such as, Resistors, fitted in a circuit for regulating the Starting and Operating Voltages of Electrical Gas Discharge Aquarium Lightings. Aquarium Lighting Ballasts manage their working with the current flowing through the circuits they are fitted in and do not require additional power.

Metal Halide Lighting. Metal Halide Lightings are High-Intensity Discharge (HID) Aquarium Lightings as they deliver high intensity, especially UV or Blue frequency light. These compact Metal Halide Lightings require high pressure and temperature to work and suit the relevant aquariums only, which usually are Reef type Marine Aquariums housing Corals in them. Metal Halide Aquarium Lighting is also beneficial for several aquarium plants as they provide a perfect blend of light and temperature they require for Photosynthesis.

LED Lighting and Moonlights. LED Lighting and Moonlights are designed especially for providing Night Aquarium Lighting to the aquarium members so that they can carry out their nocturnal activities, such as feeding for some, while spawning for others. These lights also make the aquarium content visible at night, without disturbing its internal environment.

HO VHO Fluorescent Lighting. High Output (HO) Very High Output (VHO) Fluorescent Aquarium Lightings provide one of the broadest spectrums of light for Marine Tanks, especially the Reef ones.
