50.33.35 What lamp does the water tank use?

First, the choice of lamps and lanterns

Planting aquatic plants, generally can choose the following lamps and lanterns:

1. Water weed lamp is a special kind of lamp. There are many choices in shopping malls, but the color rendering of aquatic plants lamps is general, and they are generally used for supplementary lighting of aquatic plants troughs, and are used with halogen lamps with excellent color rendering.

2. Tricolor lamps and tricolor energy-saving lamps belong to ordinary civil lamps, which can be used to raise grass and have good color rendering, but the effect of planting aquatic plants is not as good as that of aquatic plant lamps;

3. Halogen lamps belong to civil lamps, and some aquatic plants of aquarium also belong to halogen lamps (special lamps), which can be used to raise grass with good color rendering and high electro-optical efficiency. Tricolor lamps and civil halogen lamps are used for aquatic plant lighting. Try to choose a model with high color temperature. My personal opinion is that it should be at least 6500K and above.

4. Metal halide lamp (hereinafter referred to as metal halide lamp and HQI) is a kind of special lamp with high luminous efficiency and good color rendering (used for lighting studios and aquariums).

Second, the lighting configuration

After selecting the appropriate lamps, configure the light intensity:

1, generally according to 30 ~ 50 lumens per liter of water (LM: lumen) configuration, mainly negative aquatic plants, then take the lower limit; Give priority to positive aquatic plants, and then take the upper limit. Your water tank is about 50 liters of water.

2. The light intensity can also be determined according to the wattage. Energy-saving lamps and ordinary tricolor lamps are configured according to 0.7W ~ 1W per liter of water; Plant lamps and halogen lamps are used, and metal halogen lamps are used for 0.5 ~ 0.7W per liter of water, marked with lumens.

Third, the lighting configuration of finished product tanks is generally not enough to raise grass. In the choice of lamps, we can only try to choose lamps with high electro-optical efficiency (such as halogen lamps). ), and try to give priority to with negative aquatic plants. In addition, colored tubes are of little use for growing aquatic plants.
