The ability to adjust the amount of light over your aquarium is an overlooked necessity in the planted aquarium hobby. By providing the ability to raise or lower the fixture to the desired height, this aquarium light hanging kit allows the user to control the light intensity and coverage spread to suit specific needs.

If aquatic plants are receiving more light than they’re able to utilize for photosynthesis, algae develop and grow rapidly. The amount of light required for aquatic plant growth directly correlates to the amount of CO2 and fertilizers present in a planted aquarium. Having an overpowered light fixture on a tank with low CO2 and fertilization is a guaranteed recipe for algae. The additional light energy which plants are unable to use without the lacking nutrients will quickly be consumed by algae. By raising the light higher, algae growth will be reduced significantly or eradicated while still providing aquatic plants with adequate lighting to photosynthesize.
