in the planted aquarium hobby. By providing the ability to raise or lower the fixture to the desired height, this aquarium light hanging kit allows the user to control the light intensity and coverage spread to suit specific needs. In addition to height adjustment, the Ultum Nature Systems BAR allows for the user to adjust the depth of a light back and forth.
If aquatic plants are receiving more light than they’re able to utilize for photosynthesis, algae may develop and grow rapidly. The amount of light required for aquatic plant growth directly correlates with the amount of CO2 and fertilizers present in a planted aquarium. Having an overpowered light fixture on a tank with low CO2 and fertilization is a guaranteed recipe for algae. The additional light energy which aquatic plants are unable to use without the lacking nutrients will quickly be consumed by algae. By raising the light higher, algae growth will be reduced significantly or eradicated while still providing aquatic plants with adequate lighting to photosynthesize.
NOTE: Light and hanging wire not included. Suspension wires are generally included with hanging aquarium LED light fixtures.
1 bar is suitable for hanging puck style aquarium lights.
2 bars (a pair) are required for standard hanging aquarium LED light fixtures Such as Ultum Nature Systems Titan 1 RGB LED Light
