Freshwater aquarium is not complete without lighting. This is often overlooked. Do not have adequate lighting, may occasionally be an exercise expensive.

Without proper lighting, plants and fish will wither and die.

It is also necessary to consider Any lighting that generates heat. Lighting is obviously more powerful generate more heat and require more control of the temperature of the lower-powered lighting.

A wide range lighting.

Selecting appropriate lighting for a given situation is important. These are three basic styles, but different from aquarium water sweet lighting.

It is the basis of standard fluorescent light. This is often used in smaller tanks, where no living plant life. This type of lighting is very suitable for fish, but not sufficient for plant life.

Then you have compact fluorescent light. This can be used in tanks containing more than 55 gallons or more. You can add plants safely when using this type of lighting.

The third option is the VHO or output high. This freshwater aquarium lighting suitable for tanks containing 100 gallons or more. If you want to have plants, this type of lighting is adequate for them.

There are four criteria to consider in connection with the lighting for a freshwater aquarium:

1. The number of lumens per watt
2. Lumens per watt
3. PAR and
4. Watts

As a basic rule here is an overview of the lighting, as appropriate:

• Lighting is only recommended for aquarium fish: Standard or systems compact fluorescent. They use a minimum of 2.3 watts per gallon of water per tank.
• Freshwater Aquarium Planted: Standard T-5HO fluorescent, compact Power, Metal Halide / HQI. These have a minimum of 4 watts per gallon, a higher ratio is better.
• For the reef aquarium Marine: T-5 HO, VHO, Power Compact, Metal Halide / HQI. The reef aquariums require a minimum of 4.6 watts per gallon, and if the tank contains corals, sea anemones and clams, then the increase of 8.12 watts or more per gallon

It is important that you know Kelvin power use:

• For fish, you need 5,500 K to 20,000 K depending on the species. Actinic require deeper reservoirs.
• For plants to be 6500 K to 18,000 K.
• Coral will be at 9000 K to 20,000 K with actin.

Many enthusiasts recommend 10,000 K. They say they are the safest option. These lights provide excellent sharpness, bright white, which seems incredible. Most aquarium owners think is the best option for viewing. Having a freshwater aquarium is considered a hobby and you'll be very happy to have a deposit of lighting seems attractive, functional and attractive.

If you duplicate a condition natural light will be significantly increased survival rate and growth of aquatic life. Realistic about the creation of an eco-system closely as possible, allow your plants and fish life and all its organizations to survive in an environment that is close to nature as possible.

You will have great pleasure to see your freshwater aquarium grow and prosper.
