However, what you might not be aware is that our brand also has made significant impact on the world of freshwater planted aquariums, by offering customized LED lighting solutions that renders numerous benefits to the aquarium ecosystem, including improved water quality, undesirable algae growth control, oxygen production, and habitat enrichment for the fish and other aquatic creatures residing in the tank.

With a focus on advanced LED lighting technology, we introduced innovative lighting systems tailored to meet the specific needs of aquatic plant growth and overall aquarium aesthetics of both public and private tanks.

Orphek's commitment to developing cutting-edge lighting solutions has proven to be a valuable asset for curators, researches, enthusiasts and hobbyists who are dedicated to creating and maintaining thriving and visually stunning freshwater planted aquariums.

Health, growth, color and balanced environments

In the context of freshwater planted aquariums, Orphek's lighting solutions have gained attention for our ability to provide the precise spectrum and intensity of light that fosters healthy and vibrant plant growth, and they are also developed to mimic natural sunlight, which is essential for photosynthesis.

Planted aquariums aim to replicate natural underwater environments found in freshwater ecosystems, incorporating living plants to create a harmonious and balanced ecosystem.

The plants play a crucial role in enhancing the aesthetics of the aquarium, providing natural hiding spots for fish, and contributing to the overall health and stability of the aquatic environment.

Successful freshwater planted aquariums require careful consideration of factors such as lighting, substrate, water quality, to ensure the thriving growth of both plants and aquatic inhabitants.

In this week's post Orphek is all about customization and how Orphek customized the Atlantik iCon showcasing Kim Jae Young's freshwater planted aquarium and DoseAqua store located in Brazil.

As any experienced hobbyist Kim understands how import the choice of light is to the success of a freshwater planted aquarium, therefore he specifically selected the Orphek Atlantik iCon fixture as the quintessential LED lighting solution for his aquarium.

The result is so impressive that we needed to share the photos he has sent us.

The choice of light and the results in Kim's Aquarium

The Atlantik unit design and spectrums heightened the impeccable elegance of the Kim's rimless tank structure and its remarkably clear edges. It also intensified the vibrancy of the plant's colors, significantly enhancing the tank's overall allure.

The Atlantik iCon not only contributes to the visual appeal of freshwater planted aquariums by illuminating the underwater landscape in captivating ways, but they also promotes the lush growth of his aquatic plants.

The exceptional PAR output of the Atlantik iCon ensures that plants receive ample light energy for photosynthesis. This translates into healthy growth and optimal pigment production, resulting in plants that truly shines with life and vibrancy, including high demanding carpeting plants.
