Aquarium Lighting

Our aquarium lights are split into three basic categories: reef tank lights, planted tank lights and fish tank lights. Reef tank lights are higher priced lights that meet the considerable light demands of coral. These demands include both substantial light intensity as well as near UV light, and in general a great deal of blue light. Planted tank lights do not need to have as much output as reef tank lights, but plants need more light than fish. Planted tank lights have more of a full spectrum (red, blue, green, yellow) to meet the demands of aquatic plants. Red is needed for photosynthesis while blue helps plants absorb chlorophyll. Fish really don't need much light. The light is for you to see your fish.
