Good lighting does more than show off your fish. It sets the day and night rhythm they live by, brings out their colours and, in a planted tank, drives the growth of your plants. This collection covers the lighting for aquariums of all sizes, from compact clip-on lights for nano tanks to LED units that sit on top of a full-size tank.

We stock a range of LED lights in different lengths, including RGB scaper lights where you can adjust the colour to suit your plants and aquascape, plus a controller and dimmer so you can fine-tune brightness and set a lighting schedule that suits your tank.

The right light depends on what you’re keeping, so it’s worth thinking about your tank size and whether you have live plants before you choose. Low light plants like anubias and java fern are happy under modest lighting, while carpeting and red plants generally want something brighter. If you’re building a planted tank, take a look at our Aquarium Plants collection, and pop in or give us a call if you’d like help matching a light to your setup.
