How do you choose the right lamps for your aquarium

Title: Specialization

Selecting a lamp for an aquarium is not a difficult task, but try and take it foresight, especially start on the stomach on plants and ribs and many other points. Preliminary food and all sjzdade imitation for daytime light and sa need 10-12 hours, for yes, supporting the tosi regime for the care of plants and ribi. Wrinkled behold, che nay -dobriyat variant e fluorescent source on light, they gave comrade e taka, tryabva let you sort it out.

General characteristics for clarification in the aquarium

Before you discuss the options for clarification, tryabva and talk about the power on the lamp, which is necessary. Measure all in cotton (W, W).

Selection by volume

For the aquarium, the figure is based on the volume of the tank. Parameter, for some it can be calculated from 0.1 to 0.3 W per 1 liter of water. Tova is the rule of working for clean water in the aquarium, provided that there are plants and ribi in the tank. Tova, take it apart, it’s impossible. Therefore, parameterize the trebva and all, depending on the density and population:

1. 0.2–0.4 W / l It is also necessary to keep fuel-loving ribis alive, which includes catfish and ribis nights. Zaedno with tyah, with such a speed on the lighting, it is allowed and yes, you can see the plants that do not require clarification.
2. 0.4–0.5 W / L is suitable, but there are many plants that live in water, and the same rate is not suitable for underwater flora.The algae will still grow, but they will stretch and encroach on the bright stone.
3. 0.5-0.8 W / l. This calculation, based on the index, is necessary, as if creating a “dwelling” for decorative plant underwater. Under such conditions, those conditions will actively develop and imat is natural, they bloom brightly.
4. 0.8-1 W / l and more. If it is planted on plants e gisto or at the choice of the soil cover of the plant, then it is necessary to concentrate it at the top of the tazi norm.

Table for conversion to modern lamp

Decrease the parameters suitable for lamps with a pressurized liquid and halogen lamps, but those are modern lighting for aquariums crawl in a row. When calculating e, it is necessary to calculate it on the tables for the corresponding power for such lamps, compare the sources for light - fluorescent and LED. Those consumers are 10 W, 20 W, in order 30 W.

Sometimes clarification is on the surface of 1000 Lm, then you lower it to the bottom 60 cm from the aquarium, then 15 Lm itself will “stop” there. Ako e in a long way, togava under him it was still completely dark. For the health and attractiveness of the plant, tryabva and use the source for light with such a power, more than 60 lumen.

Intensity to svetlinata

Ima have a lot of factors, which will try and take everything foreseen when determining the intensity of the light, different from the choice in the mountain, including the density and diversity of the inhabitant in the aquarium. It’s hardly likely that it’s possible, yes, it’s possible, yes, determine the variant, it’s better to try it and act according to the experimental beginning. Sometimes you add or paint intensities, tremble and observe the state of water, algae, ribite and other inhabitants. See if you say something is not right:

1. Tsftezht on water, development on a niche-shaped fabric, formation on the wall from algae, to show that there is a lot of light in the ima firma.
2. Smart on the plant's dab leaves, caffeine in the aquarium, lipse on oxygen for ribite - this shows insufficient clarification.

Important! Dory trace, you will choose the right power, you will take the foreseeing of the dlbochinat and the volume, do not take it for the reflectors, they will also help for an even distribution on the light.

Reflex effect

Important moments

It is impossible to foresee everything, but tryabva and experience. Important moments:

• Habitat is on ribeye and plants, techniyat species.
• Dalbochinata on the aquarium.
• Species ribi, density on the tyahnoto exists.
• The quality of the aquarium, some meaning sea or sweet water.
• General lighting in the room, negative appearance and characteristics.
• Water is blooming.
• Kind of artificial lighting.

Type of lampi

Lumpy, who is crawling for aquarium lighting There are many differences, choosing one or another option depends on many factors. It is necessary to eat and remember, the che vinagi has crawled out of the additional light.

Lamps with hot water and halogen lamps

Crush with a hot liquid in a row for clarification in modern aquariums, ty kato osiguryavat more than toplin, light is useful for a bit. Take some care and for the halogenite, they are warming up, but much more irritated from the lamp from the burnt litter. But theses from the sources on Svetlina and the imat of predominance:

• Affordable price.
• Svetlinniyat spektar, who give those, it is a lot like tozi on slantseto.

As far as the deficiency is concerned, these are serious, in a specific way: a low efficiency of about 97% of all spent on fuel energy, 3% itself is spent on light lines. Another problem sa sweep for the current.With a halogenite, they still light up a little bit, but with a lamp with a hot gas, there are a lot of golems.

Mug with a pressurized bottle with reflectory and a fan

metal halogen

Throw halogen lamps, panels or spotlights that will successfully light up the aquarium. The condition is that the height is much less than 60 cm. The aspect e is important;

1. They can access and use enough electricity.
2. Forest, yes, take Silat to them.
3. They give a wet, light stream, and the temperature on a light varia is from yellow to blue with different models of the flask.

Kazan is simple, they give, from a small size, it is necessary to give color and a light stream is sufficient. Even more treptene and blask varhu, go to the aquarium - the objects of the object are perfectly visible and develop them. Those give an excellent picture for the perception and existence of the inhabitants.

Disadvantages - the need and all the fixer is not at the top of pumping or on a special platform at a distance of at least 30 cm from the water. Cause e strongly heated up. This is for the sake of overturning yes gi, exclude the trace of 1-2 hours of work, for yes I'm sorry.

Hello! Metalni halogenni lampi trebva and all crawl beyond the reefs and marine aquariums, which have a garden on sea anemones and algae.

Characteristics for use:

1. The lamp has heated up a lot, it’s not desirable, but I’ll cut it from the neck to it and to the body on the lamp - you can burn it out.
2. The samata lamp can also be taken from the rkavitsi or not entwined in the karpa. Smear the prints and affect the quality of the light line.
3. For yes, do not turn off the lamp from time to time, and if necessary, equip it with a fan.
4. It is imperative to put a glass between the lampata and the water in the aquarium.

Correct positioning on a metal halide lamp

Fluorescent lamps

Fluorescent lamps are considered the best choice for aquariums. For them, they are economically consummated for energy (they often say they are energy-saving). With the help of this device, the quality for clarification is necessary. Feature e, che vrazkata trebva and all perverted through a specially regulating device - an electronic ballast or throttle.

The fluorescent lamp is a gas-discharge light source with a low beam. Introduce steam into it from the zhivak and inert gas. A flask coated with phosphorus with a defined composition, which gives a desire for a bright effect. For the sake of using the elements, such a lamp is economical, but for the sake of wear and tear on phosphorus, such is the clarification for the aquarium trebva and this change is good.

Experts preporchvat change to the lampata vednzh for all the same 6-7 months, and so it’s crawled out more than once, togava not all vishki navednzh. Takiva cutting change in the power of zasegnat hydrophyte. The power on LL varia is within the range of 8–56 W, the length for each device is 20–120 cm.

Convenience, when using a fluorescent lamp, it is completely disassembled, which is economical and gives a little fuel power. Thanksgiving for a high index on color rendering is possible and can be scattered light, which is ideal for aquariums of any size and length.

Fluorescent lamps in capaca at the aquarium

If you choose one or the other version for a fluorescent lamp, please pay attention to the specifics of the aquarium, which are also underlined. In this case, it is necessary to sort out the markings, or in a short time, they show a suitable device. Also, try to measure the colors on the lampat, which is set in the / xx format, where “xx” is for the number. Options:

• / 03 - let the stream become active. Convenient for lighting marine aquariums, as they will keep light-sensitive corals.
• / 05 or / 89 - now the syn spectrum has been increased, which is really fun to reef.
• / 79 - increased red spectrum.
• / 77 e universal aquarium lamp.
• / 54 - fluorescent lamp.
• / 35 - byala svetlina or LB lamp.

If such a fluorescent lamp is different in diameter per tube, the main standard is, which can and will be the intention in the store:

1. T 5 - 16 mm.
2. T 8 - 26 mm.
3. T 12 - 28 mm.

For a home aquarium, it is very convenient and use a compact lamp T 5. Technical dimensions and basic parameters are very suitable. Osventova te tryabva da imat vsoka svetlinna effektivnost, which is marked - NOT. The length of the lamp for this type of lamp may be different, if so, if the basis is chosen according to the size for your aquarium.

For an aquarium, you can use some kind of icon, and LL is compact. The first version of the ima is a standard base, chambered for a cartridge, it is bitten into a spiral. In relation to compact lamps, technical specific capacitance (g 13) is especially suitable for aquarium lamps.

LED

This LED lamp is widely used in the aquarium. They don’t tremble, don’t generate toplin and sa nai-economy. Suitable for both marine and sweet water aquariums. Those do not need from reflectors, ty kato svetlinata se rasseyva is enough.

LED panel for marine aquarium

As often as you can, try to achieve original lighting effects by using LED strips. But si struva, remember that the colored tape can be switched on from time to time;

In the background clarification, you can use:

1. Diode tape.
2. Separate the LEDs.
3. Linear lamps.
4. Ice panel.
5. Floodlights with LEDs.

It is interesting that in general there is no consensus on the watercolorist regarding the use of LED sources in the light. Ima nakolko cause for tov, parvata e price for takiva elementi. Powerful and with the necessary protection, there will be a lot of skjp. The argument is echoed, that there is enough tribute for the use and influence of the inhabitants. Argue over tosi question prodlzhavat.

Combined clarification

After observing the good effect, it was possible to use a slightly different type of source for light. Nai-chesto this combination of 2-3 options, which can and can be included in a special panel, which can be above the aquarium. It is based on the goal of comprehending the necessary quality for lightening at a low price. Number of combinations:

• Fluorescent and LED lamps.
• Luminescent and metal halide.
• Luminescent, metal halogen and LED.

This kind of selection is all perverted temperature for light-colored, as a result of some development for plant and ribite, it is good, somehow visual perception. The main task is to get a spectrum, close to the sun.

Daytime hours and management options

For optimal development on plants and ribite, it is important that it be standardized for clarification, that the light is not shaken and turned on all the time. Tezi, who for a parvi pat szdavat so an oasis in the houses of si, sting sharply at times and the breeze shines. Everything depends on the “navicite” on the rib and the location on the aquarium.

Mechanical contact with timer

The residents of the area need from about 12 noon daylight hours. Struva si and remember, you can’t compensate for the power on the lampat and be compensated for by the duration on the daytime.Tova not only yama and dada has a positive effect, but it also influences the water supply, more tryabva and now I change a lot more honestly.

In relation to location:

1. Namiraneto on an aquarium in a bright flock from a sunny country, giving the opportunity and reduce to a minimum the duration of the illumination.
2. Yes, you will be in the darkness of the flock and the clarification of the prez of the whole den.

Ima and research for work time and intensity. So, in the course of 3-4 hours, the bright ripples are even bright, there was no time left for the tolerance to paint on the brightness. In this case, it is convenient and use special switches. It is also more convenient to mount the relay in time, it will help in some way to automate the process. Takiva sa electronic devices with the possibility of programming or mechanical.

General rules for lighting

Aquarium plants all need from lighter more than ribite. For florata, light is needed for the process of photosynthesis, without which it is impossible for it to develop and grow. As far as fauna is concerned, light-colored e is necessary mainly for the formation of the day regime.

Another point, for some reason, it’s important that you give the light correctly, that you watch your pets and that you give the original decor for clarification.

Vyz basis for product sa formirani, the main research for using clarification for aquariums, among which:

• For sure, the lampata and all the cover is protected by the kapak, but the water does not fall on top of it. In any case, it's iziskva glass capac.
• Svetlinata tryabva and evenly distributing it.
• The power for clarification is treabva, but if it is correctly chosen, the basis for the broya and the quality is for the inhabitant.
• From the source of the light trebva and giving blue-violet and orange-red spectrum.

Why would you go to the mark?

For lighting on aquariums, they can use conventional lamps from the most typical ones, but if you achieve the desired effect, you still need special ones. Not every brand is alike. Nai-popularize brands sa look at the valley. Vsichki introduce lampi imat 2 main functions:

1. Accelerate on the spread on the florat... Tova is a red-orange and violet-blue spectrum.
2. Highlight the beauty on ribata… Ako samo ribis live in an aquarium. Togawa imate need from the green spectrum.

Phytolampi

Celta helps them to photosynthesize on plants. Tova nyama and harm on the ribite, such as the Celta e are seen on the algae, thengava sa must be takiva lampi. Features:

• Optimization of growth and development of vegetation.
• Don't anticipate burnouts on leaflet.
• Don't overheat the water.

Pazar models:

1. Sylvania GRO-Lux - this is the optimal solution, but it is not enough daylight or is generally not enough. Svetlinata on the lampata activator phytobiological processes, stimulating growth, highlighting the attractive view of the vegetation. Lampata e dominirana from scarring and blue spectrum. But not every store for pets can choose this model.
2. Osram T8 Fluora - Comrade, for some reason you tryabva for golem aquariums. Wrinkled behold, what osiguryava correct spectrum for aquarium plants. Those barzo will put pressure on the teglo, melt food. Nyama harm for ribite from him, bluish and scarlet spektar dominat. Affordable price, but not worth it for a namirane in a store.
3. Hagen Flora Glo Suitable for fixing the tarp often on the aquarium.This is a spectral fluorescent lamp, which guarantees proper photosynthesis. The term for exploitation is 9 hours. Svetlinata on the lampata is not dirty water, maybe installed in the terarium. Lack of low power for lighting.

Beyond the Marine Aquarium

These aquariums are made from high-powered bowls (150–500 W). Those can and all use it rationally for long reservoirs, even though it’s still bright enough to reach the very bottom, without yes, it’s a razseyva. Some models of special lamps for marine aquariums can and simulate the moon light for the best night, for example a night lamp for ribey. Options for lamps from a popular brand:

• JBL Solar ultra den give nai-visoka light power. Svetlinata fucked the lampata, which is ideal for a marine aquarium. The effect is terrible at the top of the reef, due to the high speed light power and color rendering. These conditions are favorable for the development of cattle-free animals. Namiraneto for takiva lampi e forest vv all the store for pets, but they value the temple.
• T5 Hailea Exstra Reef – Available fluorescent lamp for marine aquariums. In it, the dominira is blue and blue spektar. Clarification, which is from some use, helps for the development of something on a single cell and reef wind.

Plen spektar for clarification
