Why is good lighting important?

• Lighting is much more than a decorative element. It:
  
• Stimulates photosynthesis in plants that produce vital oxygen
  
• Maintains the natural rhythm of fish and marine organisms
  
• Influences the colors and behavior of the inhabitants
  
• Provides good lighting at the bottom - especially important in deeper aquariums
  

It is important to consider factors such as:

• Depth of the aquarium
  
• Density of vegetation
  
• Types of fish or marine inhabitants
  
• Lighting time during the day
