Zoo Med Flora Sun Maximum Plant Growth T8 Lamp, White, 18 in

If you keep a planted terrarium or aquarium, you already know that good light is what turns a glass box into a living, growing landscape. The Zoo Med Flora Sun Maximum Plant Growth T8 Lamp is built for exactly that job, in an 18 inch length that drops into standard T8 fixtures. It is a high intensity lamp with peak emissions in the blue and red regions, the parts of the spectrum your plants reach for most.

Why keepers reach for this 18 inch T8 Flora Sun:

• Peak emissions in the blue and red regions, the wavelengths plants use to drive growth.
• Zoo Med says the emission spectrum closely resembles the absorption curve of chlorophyll-A, which the brand notes promotes maximum photosynthesis.
• Designed to maximize the photo biological processes in plants, so your greenery has the energy to fill in.
• Ideal for planted aquariums or terrariums, making it a flexible pick for naturalistic setups.
• Also great for shy fish species such as dwarf cichlids and discus, giving timid swimmers a comfortable glow.
• Meant to be used in conjunction with Ultra Sun or Tropic Sun, so you can layer your lighting.
• Energy saving T-8 size, slimmer than the older T-12 lamps.
• Effective for up to 10,000 hours, so it keeps working through season after season.
• Part of Zoo Med's fluorescent aquarium line made in Europe, which the brand ties to high quality, color, and longer burn life.
• These high quality bulbs are made in Germany.

Pair it with a companion Ultra Sun or Tropic Sun lamp and you give your planted scape the kind of layered, plant focused light it craves, while your dwarf cichlids or discus settle in under a softer wash. At 18 inches, this T8 Flora Sun is an easy upgrade for owners who want lush plants and calmer, more confident fish in the same tank. It is a simple swap that quietly does a lot of work behind the scenes, day after day, so the living part of your aquarium or terrarium can truly thrive on light it can actually use. Slide it into your fixture and let your plants do the rest of the talking.
