Lighting requirements:
- Bright, neutral light to simulate natural light conditions
- High light output to promote plant growth
- High color temperature with plant growth promoting wavelengths
Natural biotope aquariums attempt to recreate a natural aquatic ecosystem by combining a limited number of fish and plant species, with structure found within that specific environment. A high color temperature light is suggested for this type of aquarium, along with CO2 injection and attention to water chemistry.
The quantity of light required for these aquariums is from 1 to 3 Watts per gallon.
