10 best lights for the aquarium with Aliexpress

Properly chosen lamp is the basis for creating a harmonious ecosystem in an aquarium. It is as important as the filter, heater and aerator. If the fish still somehow can do without additional illumination, then the plants without artificial lighting simply will not survive.

So if you do not want in the aquarium instead of bright and juicy aquatic plants hosted filamentous, blue-green, brown or red algae, take care of the lighting. Fortunately, on AliExpress there is a large selection of lamps for every taste and wallet.
