More light in the aquariumSylvania presents the T5 fluorescent lamp "MarineStar" for marine aquariums. According to the company, the lamp is capable of reproducing authentic coral reef light conditions thanks to its high colour temperature of 15 000 K and radiation in the range from 420-510nm. The lamp also promotes the growth of corals and invertebrates by supporting the growth of zooxanthellae algae. Compared with "CoralStar", the "MarineStar" is less bluish and has a lower colour temperature.www.sylvania.comThree sizes availableAquael offers "Shrimp Sets", complete aquarium sets for shrimps. The sets each consist of an aquarium with protective frame, lighting, filter, heater and shrimp food in tablet form. The manufacturer says that the tanks are produced from a special glass that has increased transparency, making the water appear crystal clear. An energy-saving lamp mounted on the edge of the tank provides the lighting. The sets come in three sizes, 10, 20 and 30 litres.www.aquael.plSpecial foodsTropical presents its new products: "Red Parrot Granulat" offers colour-enhancing granules for red parrots and other Cichlidae fish whose diet requires a considerable amount of natural carotenoids to guarantee intensive and vivid colours.
