Lighting
Lighting for aquariums - for more plant growth and less algae formation
The right lighting for an aquarium, together with the right filter and other technical equipment, forms the centrepiece of any aquarium. Among other things, the lighting ensures that the plants grow while at the same time preventing the formation of algae. For marine aquariums, lighting is extremely important for the growth of corals. Apart from the fact that a dark aquarium is not very decorative because you cannot see and observe the beautiful creatures properly, the lighting should be appropriate. Too much or too little can cause great damage. In addition, lighting is one of the four basic elements that are crucial for an entertaining and species-appropriate aquarium, along with optimal food, a sufficient oxygen supply and water quality.
