A planted aquarium places high demands on lighting. Plants need sufficient light for photosynthesis, healthy growth and intense colours. With the right LED lighting for planted aquariums, you can create a stable ecosystem in which plants root well, grow compactly and suffer less from algae formation.
HVP Aqua offers specially developed aquarium LED lighting that perfectly meets the needs of both novice and advanced planters.
Why is special LED lighting important for plant aquariums?
Plants use light as a source of energy. If the light intensity or spectrum is incorrect, you will immediately notice the following:
- slow growth
- pale or transparent leaves
- algae problems
Our LED lighting for plant aquariums provides:
- sufficient light intensity (lumens & PAR)
- a natural light spectrum around 6500K–7500K
- even light distribution throughout the aquarium
- This stimulates photosynthesis and ensures stable plant growth.
Which LED lighting is suitable for your planted aquarium?
The right choice depends on:
- Plant density: the more plants, the higher the light requirement
- Aquarium depth: deeper tanks require more powerful lighting
- Type of plants: red-leaved and fast-growing plants need more light
For light-limited plant aquariums, a basic LED set is sufficient, while heavily planted aquariums benefit from more powerful systems such as our PowerLINE or multiple LED modules in combination with a controller.
