Specifically
designed for aquarists, the AquariumBar meets the
needs of both
freshwater and saltwater environments.
 |
|
| Five
LED clusters for maximum light output in both
marine and fresh water aquariums up to and over 20
deep. Each model comes in distinctive clamshell
packaging suitable for shelf or hook display.
Each kit is packaged with instructions and
everything necessary for immediate product use,
by itself or in combination with other
AquariumBars, on either an aquarium clear top or
aquarium sides. An optional mounting hardware
pack is available for attaching the AquariumBar
into popular PC lighting mounting channels.

AquariumBar's
QuickStick suction cups fasten to the outer
transparent wall
of the aquarium
Suction cups are
removable. Screws are provided for
fastening underneath aquarium hood.
|
|
| Based
on our patented LED grow light technology, the
AquariumBar supports the growth and development of
all photosynthesizing aquatic organisms (plants,
algae, and bacteria) commonly found in both the
fresh and saltwater aquarium.
|
| For
the serious aquarist, the AquariumBar provides
excellent primary and supplemental grow lighting
for all types of aquatic plants, algae, corals,
and photosynthesizing bacteria. Cool operation
prevents unwanted heating of aquariums. The
AquariumBar provides an excellent addition to
existing fluorescent lighting fixtures.
|
Note:
The AquariumBar should be
turned on and off to match the cycle of daylight and
nighttime in emulation of your aquarium
community's natural environment.

Three-Cluster
AquariumBars are available if less light
intensity is desired.

Features |
|
| |
| |
All
the AquariumBar's internal parts are conformal
coated with a waterproof sealant that meets military
specifications. |
| |
Low voltage design
for greater safety operation around wet
environments, children, and pets |
| |
Extremely low energy use,
just 6-9 watts per AquariumBar |
| |
Low operating temperature adds no heat to aquarium environment.
No noisy cooling fans needed. |
| |
Saves energy, uses
about the same energy per light bar as a
standard night light bulb |
| |
Broad-spectrum
output enhances growth and development of all
photosynthesizing organisms commonly found in
fresh and saltwater aquaria |
| |
Low light pollution
minimizes interference with aquarium "view
lighting" |
| |
Can be mounted in any orientation to light an aquarium from the top, sides, back, or even
the bottom of the aquarium (provided a clear
glass bottom of the tank with no gravel or
covering) |
|
| |
The
AquariumBar comes with two methods of mounting, using provided screws to mount
inside above aquarium wooden hood, or directly to any clear surface on an aquarium
using the included QuickStick suction cups. Suction
cups can be removed |

Countersunk
holes at both ends allow for mounting screws |

Comments from
independent, expert aquaculturists:
It's
interesting to watch the bubbles stream off the
plants
I set the level of CO2 to be just
under what will make the plants 'pearl' or
bubble with O2...Even with the greater biomass
from the increase in growth further limiting the
CO2 concentration the plants are pearling. I'm
just amazed.

[T]he grow rate has increased but more
importantly the morphology and especially the
color of the plants has changed for the better.
The most noticeable difference appears in a
plant called "sunset" Hygrophilia
polysperma. The tops of that plant have
become bright reddish/pink

The zooanthid corals really change shape
under different forms of light. Short stocky
bodies under high light (fast growth) and longer
stalks and slower growth the less light that
reaches them on the compact fluor. With LED
[lighting], growth is fast, far faster than
[fluorescent] lighting only, and the Zooanthids
remain very compact. In fact, buying longer
stalked zoos quickly change to a short stalk and
use the extra mass to spread quickly (grow more
heads).
