What Is High-Lite T5 Technology?
November 4, 2009 by JustJuwel
When it comes to getting their hands on the best compact aquariums available, most people gravitate naturally to JUWEL Aquariums at the drop of a hat. These aquariums are quite popular due to their inherent ease of use and the sheer convenience of setting up a tank or two. Aside from the fact that there is also a good selection of designs to choose from, the newer JUWEL Aquarium lines are now also being equipped with the High-Lite T5 Technology, specifically those of Lido 120, the entire Rio Line, the Trigon Line and the Vision Line.
What exactly is High-Lite T5 Technology and how does it compare with the previous T8 light unit?
As the name suggests, this newest addition to the company’s arsenal is a piece of lighting system that allows JUWEL Aquarium owners to provide maximum illumination to their tanks. Specially made to fit specific tank dimensions, this new lighting system is used to customize the aquatic backdrop that the fish keeper prefers, without going through all the trouble of having to affix unnecessary décor or installing harsh lights. The light spectrum of the High-Lite T5 Technology ranges from: Day, Nature, Colour, Blue and Marine – all of which can be streamlined for both freshwater and salt water tanks.
Although the standard T8 light unit works well enough for some aquarium enthusiasts, others would prefer to install lighting systems that would best mimic their aquatic pets’ natural environs. For example: the High-Lite Blue affords an almost realistic display that showcases the deeper parts of ocean water. It can also mimic darker waters that are kinder to nocturnal water dwellers. High-Lite Colour is best suited for very colorful marine pets and their equally colorful corals because it highlights (but does not overwhelm) the lighter hues of greens and yellows under water.
On the other hand, High-Lite Nature leans towards the darker shades of green, which accentuates the colors of the plant life and the shades of blue in marine fish, and the different shades of reds from the crustacean floor dwellers. High-Lite Marine helps emphasize the paler colors of the aquarium, particularly the yellows, pinks and whites; and that may help make the more vibrantly colored fishes really pop out. High-Lite Day mimics natural sunlight filtering down to the ocean floor, during the greater part of the day.
As such, JUWEL Aquariums Lido 120, the Rio Line, the Trigon Line and the Vision Line are all fitted with the High-Lite Day and High-Lite Nature lighting systems. But both of which can easily be replaced with the other spectrum of colors in case the fish keeper opts for a different lighting system.

October 26, 2009 by JustJuwel
Fish keeping still ranks as one of the most popular hobbies in the world. And as such, it is attracting more and more enthusiasts from all ages and all walks of life. However, the best fish keeping practices always begins with getting the right tools for the job. This is to ensure that the aquatic pets you acquire will get a wonderful living environment that protects and safeguards their health and well being.

Tips for decorating your Juwel Aquarium
October 14, 2009 by JustJuwel
One of the best rewards of setting up an aquarium is recreating a watery world that mimics the real thing. It does not mater if you are into fresh water fish keeping or would rather have a marine or salt water tank; the real deal is to bring a semblance of the underwater world right there in your home or office space or wherever else you want to set up an aquarium or two.
Fortunately enough, Juwel Aquariums provide compact tanks that are not only very easy to maintain, but give you the liberty to recreate oceanic rock backdrops, deep water stone backgrounds and even shallow water settings that should be perfect for fresh water pets. If you are trying to find ways on how to successfully set up your Juwel Aquarium(s), here are a few tips you might want to use.
1. Use Motive Background Rock 450. This three-dimensional backdrop is excellent for aquariums that recreate ocean floors and caves. The product’s dark coloration can help offset the vibrant colors of your aquatic fishes and may even provide a measure of security for your nocturnal water dwelling pets. The Motive Background Rock 450 can easily be tailor fitted to the dimensions of any Juwel Aquarium, fits flush against the back wall without trapping air pockets and may work best with High-Lite® Blue or the High-Lite® Colour lighting systems.
2. Use Motive Background Stone. This three dimensional backdrop is available in three different shades: Stone Granite (deep blue gray,) Stone Lime (light earth brown,) and Stone Clay (almost reddish in shade.) These could easily be set up as the environs for shallow reef / coral dwellers or for salt water dwelling pets that prefer to move about in underwater foliage. For such aquariums, the best lighting system would be High-Lite® Nature or High-Lite® Marine.
3. Use Motive Background Root 600. Again, it’s three dimensional design is attractive in itself, being able to mimic the possible view of a submerged adult tree root system. This works particularly well for fresh water setups, and can be successfully mixed with a whole range of underwater foliage. For this, you might want to use a combination of High-Lite® Colour, High-Lite® Nature and High-Lite® Day lighting systems, depending on the aquatic pets you intend to keep.
4. Use STR 450 for a more structured bark like background. Available in deepest shade of green, this backdrop is excellent especially if you want to recreate an underwater cave or perhaps a shaded area of a shallower aquatic environ. This works particularly well if you prefer to install a rather good number of aquatic foliage and bottom dwelling fishes and crustaceans. High-Lite® Blue, High-Lite® Nature and High-Lite® Colour might work best here.
5. You might also want to include Terrace Rock A and Terrace Rock B, both of which are interlocking rock like formations measuring 35 cm x 15 cm each. These can be used singly, in combination with each other, or in combination with any of the four previously mentioned Juwel Aquarium backgrounds.
6. Or, if you would rather have a clear interior aquarium space, there is always that line of Juwel Aquariums posters: printed backdrops that you can install just outside the back wall of the tank.
