Discover The Importance Of Proper Aquarium Lighting
Aquarium lighting is often the last item a person is thinking about when buying an aquarium. The lighting of an aquarium, however, is very important.
There are 4 different kinds of aquarium setups that may require different kinds of aquarium lighting:
- Freshwater - fish only.
- Freshwater - fish and plants.
- Salt water – fish only.
- Saltwater – fish and corals.
The most light-sensitive aquarium set up is the aquarium with saltwater fish and corals.
Corals are categorized as animals, not plants, and therefore they are feeding from the light. So the proper aquarium lighting is very crucial and will make the difference between growing beautiful and lustrous corals and having them die in your reef tank.
