## Description

TUNZE LED eco chic refugium 8831 for algae cultivation in marine refuges or plant growth in fresh water basins combines both attributes "eco" and "chic" into a highly effective, perfectly-designed aquarium illumination at an absolutely reasonable price. In seawater, Chaetomorpha algae are an excellent economical and easy alternative to many chemicals or resins to eliminate nitrates and phosphates from the aquatic biotope. Thus, it is absolutely sufficient to harvest a handful of algae from time to time to maintain the biological balance in the aquarium.For this purpose, TUNZE has developed a special LED that effectively promotes algae resp. plant growth in any filter or plant basin with its light spectrum. The eco chic LED lights with protection class IP 68 operate permanently in the air but also under water. The special manufacturing process doesn't just guarantee the water resistance, it also enables the permanent underwater operation which also relieves the pressure on the aquarium heater. This underwater lighting avoids light reflections on the water surface making the lighting source even more efficient. An immersion depth here of 1 to 2 cm (.4" - .8") is more than adequate. A compact housing has been developed through the use of the latest components. This can be attached flexibly using the Magnet Holder. Operation with extra-low safety voltage ensures risk-free underwater use without electrical losses. The built-in overheating protection as a safety function ensures that the performance of the lamps is gradually reduced from 9 W to 7 W at temperatures of approx. 25°C (77°F). Spectrum especially suitable for refuge and basin for algae growth in seawater and plant growth in freshwater. Can be used in the air and under water. Photosynthetically Active Radiation Flux (PAR): 2.22 W Photosynthetic photon flux: 10.1 µmol / s Power consumption: 9 W Power supply: 100-240V/50-60Hz Including Magnet Holder for a glass thickness up to 10 mm (3/8").

Review: This product works perfectly for all in one tanks, because of limited space it allows you to still benefit from Refugium without being overly crowded in the back chambers.

Compré la Tunze Refugio Eco Chic 8831 para el sump de mi acuario marino y hasta ahora estoy muy satisfecho con el resultado. La instalación es súper sencilla, el diseño es compacto y se nota inmediatamente que es un producto bien pensado y de alta calidad. La luz es potente sin ser exagerada, ideal para el crecimiento de macroalgas como chaeto. Desde el primer día noté buena cobertura y un color de luz perfecto para el refugio. Además, consume poca energía y no genera calor excesivo, lo cual es un gran plus para mantener parámetros estables. Otro punto fuerte es la calidad de construcción. Tunze nunca decepciona: materiales sólidos, buen acabado y sensación de durabilidad. Se ve que es una luz hecha para durar, no un producto genérico más. Después de probar varias opciones, esta ha sido una de las mejores decisiones para mi sistema. Totalmente recomendada para cualquier persona que quiera un refugio eficiente y bien iluminado sin complicaciones. ✔️ Fácil de instalar ✔️ Excelente para macroalgas ✔️ Bajo consumo ✔️ Marca confiable Sin duda la volvería a comprar.
