Light Drives Growth and Colour

Lighting does more than show off your tank — it powers photosynthesis in corals and plants, and its spectrum shapes their colour and health. What you keep sets what you need: SPS corals demand high-output reef LEDs, planted tanks want full-spectrum growth light, and a fish-only or refugium tank has gentler needs. We carry lighting from Aqua Illumination, EcoTech, Kessil, Maxspect, Red Sea, and Reef Brite.

Types of Lighting

• Reef LED — high-output, controllable fixtures for soft, LPS, and SPS corals.
• Planted & freshwater LED — full-spectrum lights tuned for plant growth and fish colour.
• Refugium lights — dedicated lights to grow macroalgae in a sump or refugium.
• Mounts & controllers — arms, hanging kits, and controllers to position and program your light.

Match intensity and spectrum to your livestock, and ramp new lights up gradually — corals moved suddenly under strong light can bleach. Email info@jlaquatics.com for a recommendation. J&L has lit Canadian tanks since 1997.
