The marine conversion market is considerable and few freshwater aquarium sets scream out for some saltwater fun like this one from Polish manufacturer阿奎尔。Opti套件是坦克,引擎盖,灯和橱柜组合,可在125-240升的三种尺寸上使用,两种颜色为黑色和白色。
It sports a modern, contemporary look with minimalist cabinet design, clear silicone, and low-iron glass and will no doubt suit everything from cichlids to planted aquascapes. But its the flexibility of the lighting that has us wanting to make one marine and revisit growing corals with strip lights, and under a closed hood.
开箱即用的Opti套件提供了两个LED LED灯管白天和晚上,可以一起使用日光模式,蓝色模式或两个频谱。但是,这两个LED管的最多只有17瓦,将难以为任何珊瑚提供所需的东西,在大多数淡水情况下可能都很好。
然而,令人兴奋的一点是,即使是125升型号也可以舒适地升级到另外五个管,其中41厘米宽的200和240升型号能够总共九个LEDDY轻型管。因此,将三个leddy acttinic,两个10000k莱迪海军陆战队以及6500k的Leddy Sunny灯组合在一起,您可以使用合适的,甚至可以散开的珊瑚。所有这些都在封闭的盖子下。
或者在200和240型型号的镇上,结合使用八个或九个LEDDY管,您可能会在封闭的引擎盖中查看150瓦的照明,没有噪音。除了几个插件计时器外,没有其他编程的麻烦,可以允许单独的蓝色和白色通道的定时间隔。
Without trying it, we would advise potential users to monitor water temperatures one extra tube at a time, just to make sure the massive upgrade in light, albeit LED and passively cooled, doesn’t equal at least a small increase in the tank’s running temperature.
Neat access solution
早在T5,T8甚至T12荧光灯的时代,许多照明管不仅代表了大量的热量和电缆,而且访问也将是一场噩梦,因此,多个带状灯迁移到可以铰接的坦克灯具上的灯光灯无法进行维护,甚至悬挂在开放式坦克上,以更好地进入。
But AquaEl has reimagined this scenario and engineered internal light brackets which not only allow for ease of fitting and front to back positional adjustment of the lights, they also hinge back as a single unit, enabling all nine-light tubes to be hinged back completely out of the way for full tank access below.
We must stress that AquaEl isn’t marketing the Opti Set for marine conversion but the fanatic in us sees any new aquarium as a potential marine aquarium and those lighting options have us wondering what could be achieved if such a tank were converted to grow corals. HOB skimmers, overflow boxes, and retrofit sumps could all be employed and that flimsy-looking plastic tank cover over the lights looks like it could be easy to cut and modify or remove completely.
用珊瑚种植水箱,您也许可以将两个Leddy灯在前后安装,卸下盖子,并安装一些更高的电源礁石规格灯,以组合使用。我们看到新的LED灯条的激增旨在与单独的聚光灯结合使用,因此可以通过Opti Set的现有框架看到一些有趣的DIY照明组合的潜力。
AquaEl isn’t known for its marine products despite its wide range of aquatic equipment and virtually100%内部制造能力. They’ve dabbled in marine aquaria before with the Reef Master nano offering and later the very promising2018年有光泽的海军陆战队外,虽然我们没见过光滑的海洋of any trade shows since and fear it didn’t get past the concept stage. Leddy Tube remains a very popular LED strip light across Europe however due to its relatively low price point and its retrofit capabilities.
将OPTI套件固定在黑色硅胶中,而不是用强制性的黑色内部堰和污水处理,它可以进入一个现成的市场,因为那些渴望蒸发较少的防跳船罐的人,并且不需要售后市场网状盖子解决方案。
