Light information:
1) Do not use the contaminants of glass cover
2) Don't suddenly switch light, otherwise it will scare the fish. Aquatic animals box to turn off the lights when disconnecting the floodlight, and then close the indoor lighting. Turn on the light when the first indoor lighting, and then open aquarium lights.
3) Using the waterproof lamps and lanterns and terminal blocks.
4) Don't install the lamp in the water.
5) Lampshade vent shall be maintained.
to attain the best lighting effect, should as far as possible will light direct illuminate aquarium. Aquatic animals box cover can not only prevent dust fall into aquatic animals box, also is an ideal location to install lamp.
to improve the lighting effect box cover have reflective effect, lighting effect is more ideal, the box cover walls painted white. But must not use aluminium foil for lining, foil paper will plug the vent on the box cover AD hoc, and carbon dioxide and lights of the heat.
lighting installation position should install the lamp in the box cover, make the light from the top down light, no shadow effect, lighting installation in water more easily caused by the shadow of hindrance to watch.
box containing fluorescent lamp cover choose length for the tube and the box cover, if you have difficulty, can be used both to shorter tubes. Fluorescent lamp terminals need to be equipped with waterproof cap, from water erosion. Despite its price expensive than incandescent bulbs, but the service life is long, light fever, uniform illumination.
the installation position of starter
when using the fluorescent lamp with choke coil or transformer. Is different from daily fluorescent lamp, this device is a built-in fission structure, used to put on the box cover interlayer, the box cover, or at the edge of aquatic animals. But because of the device, put on the box cover inside or on the box cover, is not conducive to the balance of the box cover. Open cover need to be careful in the breeding, or not taken, starter will fell and smashed glass plate. If you decide to use more tubes, the starter is not suitable for installed on the box cover.
electrical safety elements are incompatible with water, and aquatic animals box is unable to avoid this problem, so special attention should be paid. Light close to the surface installation, fish, bubble stone or filter splashing water often falls on the hot tube, may cause explosion. Should choose waterproof lamps and lanterns to prevent the erosion of feeding water, and put a glass cover on the aquatic animals box, feeding water and reflective box cover. Glass aquarium and only a narrow edge for placing glass cover, so can make two pieces of glass cover points, while feeding or daily management, move as long as one can, and should be a glass plate removal Angle, as air pipe and filter water channel.
the influence of illumination on the algae growth
usually, aquarium light are inadequate, such as can enhance light, the effect will be better. Of course, must control the growth of algae, the faster the longer the illumination of the algae growth, but the growth of algae need to meet certain conditions. Meet the demand of aquatic lighting, redundant part will make the spread of the algae. Most of the fish farmers intensity or reduce to less time to inhibit the growth of algae. A more effective way is a variety of aquatic plants, make full use of the light, quantity of illumination and restrictions of the algae.
