Questions / Réponses

What lighting for my reef aquarium?
   

You can use powerful HQI, T5 and LED lighting types, with high color temperatures (14000 K). Suspended LED ramps are ideal.

What is the lighting time for a reef aquarium?
   

The total lighting duration must be between 10 and 12 hours and must not exceed 12 hours.

Why specific lighting for a seawater aquarium?

Lighting is an essential element for any marine aquarium. Unlike freshwater aquariums, saltwater aquariums, especially reef aquariums, require suitable lighting to ensure the growth and well-being of corals and fish. Good LED lighting allows you to:

  • Reproduce the natural light conditions of the ocean
  • Promote coral photosynthesis (thanks to zooxanthellae)
  • Enhance the colors of corals and fish
  • Limit the proliferation of unwanted algae

Choosing the right lighting for your aquarium

Proper lighting is essential for the well-being of your aquarium inhabitants, whether they are plants, fish or corals. Here are the main elements to consider to make an informed choice.

Lighting surface

The surface area of your aquarium determines the type and number of lights needed. For even light distribution, it is crucial to choose a lighting system that covers the entire surface of the aquarium. LED strips are often recommended for their ability to distribute light evenly over large areas.

Lighting type: suspended or with bracket

The choice between pendant and pole-mounted lighting depends on your aquarium setup and aesthetic preferences. Pendant systems offer flexibility in terms of height and angle, allowing you to adjust light intensity and reduce shadows. Poles, on the other hand, are ideal for open aquariums and provide easy access for

Spots or ramp covering the entire surface

LED spotlights are suitable for targeting specific areas or for smaller aquariums, for example the Red Sea - ReefLed 50 or the Aqua Illumination - Prime 16HD . However, for uniform light coverage, especially in medium to large aquariums, LED strips such as the Maxspect - RSX 200w are ideal. They provide an even distribution of light, which is essential for plant and coral growth.

LED power in watts

The wattage required depends on the specific needs of your aquarium. In general, a light intensity of 30 to 40 lumens per liter is recommended for planted or reef aquariums. For example, for a 100 liter aquarium, a light source delivering between 3,000 and 4,000 lumens would be appropriate. It is important to note that wattage does not always reflect luminous efficacy, as modern LEDs offer a higher light output than older technologies.

Colors to favor for coral growth and coloring

Corals depend on light for photosynthesis, especially specific wavelengths. Actinic lights, which emit a deep blue light, are essential for a healthy reef aquarium. They promote the natural fluorescence of corals and stimulate their growth. Therefore, it is recommended to integrate blue and white LEDs into your lighting system to reproduce the optimal light spectrum for corals. Most LED strips sold today offer this type of coloration.

What types of lighting should you choose for a marine aquarium?

There are several options available to you for lighting your marine aquarium:

1. LED ramps

LED strips are the most popular today thanks to their low energy consumption, long lifespan and wide light spectrum suitable for reef aquariums.

2. T5 fluorescent tubes

Although they are gradually being replaced by LEDs, T5 tubes remain effective for coral growth, especially in large aquariums.

3. HQI projectors

HQI metal halide lamps were once highly prized for their power, but their high consumption and significant heat emission make them less attractive today.

How to properly light your reef aquarium?

1. The ideal lighting duration for corals

It is recommended to light your aquarium between 8 and 12 hours per day to replicate the natural cycle of the sun and promote photosynthesis in corals.

2. Color temperature and light spectrum

Good lighting should combine several types of light:

  • Actinic (deep blue, 420-460 nm) : Promotes coral fluorescence.
  • UV : Improves coral growth and limits certain unwanted proliferations.
  • White light (6,500K - 15,000K) : Provides natural and harmonious lighting.

3. Avoid algae blooms

Improperly adjusted lighting can promote unwanted algae. To prevent this:

  • Opt for LED ramps with light spectrum control, this is often the case today with connected lighting.
  • Avoid lights that are too rich in red and yellow.
  • Control the duration of lighting and avoid excessive exposure.
