In a home pond - an aquarium, light is needed. First of all, to ensure the normal development of fish and plants, as well as to admire the beauty of the underwater landscape and its inhabitants.
Long exposure of the aquarium, like its complete absence, adversely affects the health of fish and algae. The light should be switched on for 10-12 hours a day in order to maximally approximate the existence of its inhabitants to natural conditions. Among the artificial lighting can be identified fluorescent lamps and the most modern LEDs.
LED backlight for aquarium
The originality of LED lighting is that it can create diffuse dim light. Diodes allow to make underwater illumination for an aquarium of absolutely different shades - red, green, violet, dark blue.
The main advantage of LEDs is low power consumption, they do not heat water, and they last much longer. Reducing the voltage on the lamp allows you to reduce the intensity of lighting the aquarium. In one lamp a variety of diodes is controlled by a controller, with which you can set various modes of illumination during the day - dawn, noon, sunset, night illumination of the aquarium. As a moonlight, the blue spectrum is often used. It is believed that the fish in the blue light do not see anything, with him no rapid growth of plants is observed. Night lighting can greatly enhance the aquarium at night and will not cause any harm to fish and plants.
When choosing the illumination for the aquarium, one must take into account the spectrum of the emitted light, which is necessary for its inhabitants. For example, for the growth of freshwater plants, red is ideal, and for coral polyps, blue. The optimal solution is to combine different diodes to create a full spectrum of lighting.
The light flux must pass through the water column and illuminate the plants completely. For this purpose, spotlights are used. In practice, it is considered the norm to use a power of 0.5 W per liter of water. LED backlight will allow to decorate the aquarium, along with obvious benefit for its inhabitants.
Proper lighting of the aquarium is a necessary and important factor in creating a beautiful and healthy ecosystem, will ensure normal growth of plants and give a bright color to all inhabitants of the home pond. Aquarium with LED backlight will be an impressive decoration of the interior .
