Awesome Aquarium Light
http://home.attbi.com/~gem_sales/products/light.html
This light is amazing for those trying to grow plants in your aquarium. The light is small and does not give off heat. It is the best light that mimics true sunlight. |

And they are not that good of a light. And they do give off a lot of heat. And they are not that small either. |

not to mention that any run of the mill fluorescent light has the same spectrum as the sun.... just not as intense.

I beg your pardon???
I will will have to strongly disagree with your statement. Your run of the mill florescent light will not even come close to re-creating the spectrum of the sun. They may be able to re-create the proper lighting effect, but not the spectrum. Take a look at the lights required for reptiles and lizards, and the special "Grow" lights for planted aquaria. What a blatent statement of ignorance! wrote in message ... not to mention that any run of the mill fluorescent light has the same spectrum as the sun.... just not as intense. Ingrid |

nothing like personal experience to negate the rules of physics. Ingrid

Thanks for the links Ingrid! I think the issue with your original statement : "not to mention that any run of the mill fluorescent light has the same spectrum as the sun.... just not as intense.

I wonder if fluorescents actually have any nulls?!? It would be instructive to see a chart of sunlight spectrum vs. amplitude recorded underwater at a depth of about 18". Are you aware of anyone having done this? I imagine there would be a somewhat linear attenuation of the longer wavelengths making it shift red.

Before you can select the type you need depending on your tank, you need to decide what fish you home in your tank. Once this is determined to get the best results, I suggest you do some research to find out their lighting requirements.

Benefits the host of aquatic plants, aquarium, and they are used in one aspect of the greatest success is that they grow up with the correct equipment and lighting. To photosynthesise correct, plants need light in the red and blue spectrum.
