How Long Does The Aquarium Light Last? What Kind Of Lighting Is good? Aquarium Fish Farming Skills

This article is about to give you a variety of tips for fish farming in the sea tank, which will definitely make you shine, including the more comfortable and healthy way to make fish live, as well as the choice and use of sea-cylinder lamps.

Various techniques for fish farming in sea tanks and selection and use techniques for sea-cylinder lamps

But that’s based on science and less detours.

Professional players will have a good fish farming method

Let's open the clouds together and have a glimpse of the simple way to raise the sea tank!

"temperature control system" and "sea cylinder lamp"

It is a very important aspect of the system that enables fish to survive. It simulates the living environment of fish, and it needs good temperature and water quality:





First, the various techniques of fish farming in the sea tank: temperature control
Many of the seawater ornamental fish we feed live in the tropics. Their general temperature of life is definitely different from our four seasons. They need 23 °C ~ 29 °C in water to survive. This uses two tools: a heating rod and a chiller.

1, heating rod

Generally, 200 liters of water uses a 200 watt heating rod. We have previously introduced how to choose the wattage and how to use it safely. I won’t go into details here. I can review the historical article, “When the heating rod is not good, it will boil the fish? Get it done!"

Add some material issues:

Generally, the heating rod is divided into glass and metal. It is recommended to use glass products because the metal easily reacts with seawater.

It is best to install a heating rod in the filter tank, because some fish love to bite wires (cannonballs, gods, etc.), which is dangerous. However, it still has some safety components installed, such as automatic temperature control: when the water temperature reaches the set temperature range, it will automatically stop heating, and the use will not increase the power consumption, which is quite good.

2, chiller

The chiller is not a necessary component in the seawater tank, but some areas are used because the water in the aquarium cannot exceed 30 °C, and the individual areas are too hot, then you can only press one.

Some aquarists say that the temperature of the air conditioner in the house is falling very fast, then I don't install it. In fact, the temperature is fast, it does not turn on the air conditioner, and it heats up quickly. If the temperature is more than 3°, your fish will not feel good. It will soon be tortured and killed by warming and cooling. This is really bad for fish health. . .

Therefore, some people have considered this point and started to use the temperature and temperature control unit to ensure the stability of the water temperature.

Also, if it is a coral reef with corals, the temperature will be lower and stay at 28 °C, because corals and most invertebrates can't stand this temperature.

Second, the choice and use of sea cylinder lamps
Pure fish farming, lighting system in addition to aesthetics, there is not much practical use, install 1~2 fluorescent tubes according to the length of the aquarium.

If it is a coral reef and there is a fish, then it must be paid attention to. The coral needs light very much, because it has zooxanthellae in the body, it must be photosynthesis to be alive, and it contains a lot of fluorescent protein, so a good lamp can be It will be nice to motivate his fluorescent protein, so choosing lighting is especially important for corals.

1, sea cylinder lamp selection advice

With a water depth of less than 50 cm, with a fluorescent device, the water depth is higher than 50 cm. It is recommended to choose an LED lamp or a T5HO lamp:

Metal halide lamp: used in the past, but this product is too hot and too hot, but also cool down, but its advantage is that it is a point source, it will have a sparkling feeling, if not specifically pursue this How to recommend newbies. Metal halide light bulbs are single-ended and double-ended. You need to pay attention to the matching when you buy the lamp. Generally, low power, 70w and 150w are double-ended, while 250w and 400w are single-ended. You need to pay attention to the lamp housing you bought. After the metal halide lamp is turned off, it takes 10 minutes to turn it on. This is a protection mechanism, not that it is broken.

T5 tube: It has many colors, white, blue, fluorescent purple, pink green. For seawater fish, it is generally chosen to match several colors. If your tank is wider, you should choose six tubes. For example: 60 cylinders can choose two white tubes, three blue tubes and one fluorescent purple tube; 80 cylinders use 8 tubes, which are three white and three purple. A Fiji purple one fluorescent purple; 10 tubes can choose four white four blue, one fluorescent purple one Fiji purple.

For most people, if you only need to raise soft body, you can use six tubes for 80 or 100 wide cylinders. The length of the tube is available in four sizes: 60cm, 90cm, 120cm, 150cm, so the length of the cylinder. You need to stick with these lights. If the size of the cylinder is longer, such as 3 meters, you can choose three rows of 90 lights to cover the cylinder.

LED lights: Now everyone raises corals, the mainstream is LEDs, and now they have made some light sources. The lights and metal halide lamps are not bad. However, there is one thing that should be worth noting. It is a narrow spectrum, so if you want to raise the coral well, the spectrum is more important. The coral needs 450 nm blue light, 420 nm blue violet light, and 390 UVA, plus some 12000k white light, it has been corrected. Blue, although the blue coral can grow, but we don't look comfortable, so the LED light visual experience is good.

Power selection of LED lights: For LPS large water body corals, a 1cm cylinder is usually enough for 1w. For example, if the cylinder is 60 cm, the lamp will be 60w; the 90 cm cylinder will use 90W. If it is a small water body coral, this is twice the power.







2, sea cylinder lamp use skills: pay attention to the intensity of the aquarium

Don't use too strong lights, it will cause excessive free radicals in the coral (free radicals are the most feared by women, it will make the skin aging), too much free radicals need stronger waves to light the corals The free radicals wash away, but too strong waves make the corals shake, causing the corals to be not very comfortable. Excessive light will produce too much metabolites, and too many metabolites require extra large protein separation. The device is to be processed, but the extra large protein separator will produce eutrophication, which will cause more free radicals in the water, and then the free radicals generated by the coral will have nowhere to go, so many people use it. Very good and very large protein separators, the status of the coral is not particularly good, it is for this reason.

Sometimes the details don't understand, the ecology of the seawater tank is viciously circulating, so to raise the coral, we must emphasize the balance of the system, that is, the ecological balance.

3. Reasonable lighting time of the aquarium lamp

So the light should not be too strong, the time should not be too long, the timer should be set to take 16 hours off for 8 hours, give the corals a rest time, excrete the trace element metabolites in the body, then you have been producing free radicals all the time. It is not good for it, it takes some time to repair the light damage.

Seawater corals have zooxanthellae, so 450nm plant blue light is needed for photosynthesis. In general, a one-centimeter cylinder is enough for 1w of power. That is to say, if your cylinder is 60 cm, you may choose 60w for the lamp, and 90w for the 90cm cylinder is enough.

Sps, which is a small water scorpion coral, has twice the power, but can't use too strong a light, because it is too strong, it will cause excessive free radicals in the coral. Generally, 1cm water body, with 2~3w led lamp, 60cm cylinder, 120~180w led lamp.

What kind of lamp is used in the sea tank is not only a problem for the growth of the organism in the aquarium, but also a key to affecting the overall attractiveness of the sea tank. The sea has energy from the sun. In order to restore the natural seawater environment in a small sea tank, in addition to preparing seawater, other equipment for the aquarium should be prepared. Among them, the lamp is a very important one, so that you can raise seawater organisms with seawater tanks.






First, the selection of a suitable luminaire for a seawater tank requires comprehensive consideration. According to the size of the seawater tank, the biological species to be raised, its own economic strength, the operation of the lamp, etc., to purchase the most suitable lamp.

There are many kinds of seawater cylinder lamps sold in the market. There are many lamps of different colors, different halogens, different wattages, different shapes and different sizes. There are also differences in prices. For this reason, you must first prepare for the purchase, investigate the relevant market, and then compare and purchase. Of course, you can always consult us.

The color choice of the aquarium luminaire is also clear here. Some of the color of the coral is also displayed by the sea light to stimulate the fluorescence of the coral, but it is all blue light, which also affects the viewing. Therefore, other light colors are needed. Balance the color for a better viewing experience.

The basic light source is generally selected to have a light source for growing light: T5HO white light 10000K~12000K, halogen light 10000K~14000K.

Whether it is in the aquarium fish farming skills or the choice of aquarium lights, it affects the aesthetics and functionality of the whole sea tank. The quality of the aquarium lights affects the health of the tanks. If you have any questions, please consult Pantech. .
