PRLog -- Temperature:
Zooxanthellae are not very flexible when it comes to water temperature;
they do best at temperatures between 23-28 C (73-82 F). These algae also need a lot of light, which is why shallow coral reefs are only found in tropical, clear waters where temperatures do not fluctuate too much during the year. In the summer, temperatures sometimes get above 30 C (86 F), causing the zooxanthellae to die off. As a result, the corals expel these symbiotic algae. This is called bleaching, and it is now a common process on coral reefs worldwide. Global warming has caused summer temperatures to become higher, and or longer periods of time. The corals and the zooxanthellae have trouble with adapting to this fast changing climate. It is important that we try to slow down climate change by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases we produce. Traditional light systems generate high heat, changing the temperature on the surface of the aquarium. Our system reduces heat, consequentially costs of maintenance of chillers to control the temperature of the water. Therefore, by choosing Orphek Power LED system you Will have to spend less Money to mantain the temperature controled to avoid bleaching. Basically this means tat by choosing Orphek Power LED system, not only your corals Will grow faster, you Will save Money but their colors Will be more vivid, more intense!
