Metal Halide Fish Tank Light 6500K

The Arcadia 6500K Single Ended Metal Halide Lamp, supplied by 123 Aquatics provides extremely high light output into the Aquarium. They are a top end, high efficient light source, particularly for the large marine reef aquariums.

They can be used in both marine and freshwater aquariums to promote healthy corals and anemones and enhanced plant growth. The 6500k model featured here is perhaps more appropriate for the Tropical freshwater aquarium with requiring lush plant growth as the light emited is more yellow and white.

Aquarium tanks containing invertebrates such as marine corals (hard or soft), saltwater anemones, and Tridacna clams will particularly benefit from this type of lighting in the 14,000 - 20,000 k range. A suitable light is one which promotes photosynthesis by the microscopic algae (zooxanthellae) which live within the tissues of such invertebrates.

Visually, the appearance is very clear and crisp, with excellent colour rendition, resulting in a very natural looking picture within the confines of the aquarium. The lamp is available in three sizes - 150W, 250W, and 400W - The latter being particularly for the deeper than average aquarium, or those containing species of stony corals with a very high light demand.
