Tropical Fish Wholesalers - Loss Of Light
Loss of light The further away the light source, the greater the loss in: - the lighting hood; - the glass lid covering the aquarium; - the water. Part of the light is reflected by the surface of the water, another part is absorbed (the deeper the aquarium, the greater the importance of the absorbed light), and a final part is diffused by suspended sediment. It is estimated that the bed only receives 20-30% of the total light, which can be detrimental to the growth of small plants. In order to reduce the loss of light, you must: - recover as much as you can in the hood through reflection; - keep the aquarium lid spotless; - make sure that the water is clear; - maintain the depth of the water below 0.5 m if you are using fluorescent tubes.
