lighting

[bala_aquarium]

ok,i seen a light that says it has realistic daylight simulation.does that mean it has like a dimmer switch or something so in the morning it slowly gets brighter like outside and at night slowly darker?

I have no idea. Do you have a link? Product name? Hard to read your mind from here.

 

[Toddlee]

The ones I've seen say they simulate the mid day sun.

Sounds like a standard daylight spectrum bulb to me, around 6500-6700k.

 

[bala_aquarium]

its from big als.i believe the product name is orbit fixture
or sunpaq retrofits.

Now which one is it so we can try and see what is you are asking, and by the way all you have to do is click on the light and it will give you a pretty good description of what the light capabilities are.

[jefftaylor]

what do you mean keep looking the links are right there for what you were asking about!!!! Do you just ask questions for the hell of it or what??

 

[bala_aquarium]

[bala_aquarium]

[jefftaylor]

Dude stop lying i have the same magazine from Als and it has all of the stuff that is avaliable on the website. Ok so i still do not understand you said it was from Als fine. Now you are saying it is in a magazine. i have the same big Als book and it has everything that is online in that book. If it is not the same exact thing then why did you say it was from als???????*crazysmil

Ok now we all now you are lying so stop asking stupid questions. This is what you have posted in another post in the freshwater general discussion ( what is pasted above). You have a nice dad that must of cost a fortune custom you say wow!! So explain to us all why you need a new light if you have a custom light and a brand new tank with no fish in it yet supposidly. You have just lost all creditability from me and probably anyone who is reading this post. Now there are a lot of very nice and knowledgble people on this site willing to help but when you do stuff like this it is not the smartest thing to do. You just got caught in a nice big LIE!!!!!!!*ALL*

 

[bala_aquarium]

if you look i changed that do to the fact i want to order them.i was origanaaly going to buy but seen it said what i posted above and waited on having them ship it,untill i get info from you guys.

The bottom line is that you can't dim fluorescent bulbs. If you have a large tank, you could put each bulb on its own timer, assuming the lights have separate plugs.

Remember, many fish have never even seen a river. Trying to simulate dawn/dusk is probably just a waste of time and money.

 

[bala_aquarium]

oh hello i didnt think of that.they probably never did see a natural body of water
