Arcadia have developed two T5 lamps for use
with marine aquaria, based on their existing T8 marine fluorescents -
the "Marine White", and "Marine Blue Actinic" lamps.
For the marine reef aquarium, this means
that the choice of invertebrates that can be stocked successfully is
increased.
Certain species that would at best struggle
to survive under T8 lamps, can now flourish under T5 lamps, meaning that
a reef can be constructed using a range of soft corals, anemones, large
polyp stony corals, and Tridacna clams.
They also allow for a deeper reef aquarium
to be successfully maintained, as the light that they emit penetrates
the water further, and can satisfy the light requirements of animals
kept further from the light source.
Arcardia T5 Fluorescent Tubes are available
in the following sizes:
-
22" Long - 24W
-
34" Long - 39W
-
46" Long - 56W
