Equipment
Heaters Saltwater tanks require temperatures of certain, and often narrow ranges. The type and quality of your heater is very important. Protect your investment with quality equipment! Pumps We carry pumps that move up to 6000 GPH. Need something larger? Just ask us! Power Heads Saltwater fish and most corals require constant water movement that mimics the flow of the ocean. How much flow you will need will be determined by the corals that you intend to keep! There are several different brands of powerheads that are more than adequate! Lighting In our store, we use different kinds of lighting to visually demonstrate what customers can expect with the lights that they chose. Still, our in-store demo is not going to provide enough time or information to help you to make a decision unless you have done some research prior to purchasing! Some of the common lighting used on saltwater aquariums are COMPACT FLUORESCENTS, VHO ( very high output ), T-5 HO ( high output ), METAL HALIDES, and the new and highly popular LED’s ( light-emitting diodes ). Choices of lighting will be based on what you plan on keeping in the tank, heat output and overall energy usage! LED lights are the latest and greatest, but they are mostly unproven over any length of period where coral growth and coloration are concerned. On the other hand, METAL HALIDES have been around for a very long time and are well-proven to grow stony corals! IF there is a downside to them, it is the fact that they emit a tremendous amount of heat that often requires one to purchase another expensive peripheral……a chiller! We order a variety of regular glass and starphire glass aquariums of any size. Have a size in mind? Let us get you a quote! Send quote request to sales@franks-tanks.com
