prohobby planted tank

🌿 Thinking of setting up a planted aquarium in Delhi NCR?

Whether you’re in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad, or Ghaziabad, lighting is the #1 factor that will determine your success — especially when it comes to plant growth and algae control.

At ProHobby™, we help hobbyists across the NCR region choose the right aquarium lighting system — for both low-tech beginners and high-tech aquascapers.

Why Aquarium Lighting Is So Important:

Aquarium plants rely on light to perform photosynthesis — converting light, CO₂, and nutrients into growth. But too much or too little light can create serious problems.

👉 Too little light: Stunted growth, melting plants

👉 Too much light: Algae outbreaks, poor coloration

👉 Wrong spectrum: Weak photosynthesis, yellowing, leaf drop

No matter, if your tank is in Noida beside a bright window, or in a low-light Gurgaon apartment, your light choice should reflect your space.

Key Aquarium Lighting Terms (What to Look For):

  1. PAR: Measures usable light for plants
  2. Kelvin: Color temperature
  3. CRI: Color accuracy CRI > 85 is ideal
  4. Spectrum: Full-spectrum or WRGB lighting

💡 Tip: At ProHobby™ Delhi, we help NCR hobbyists choose the right light by measuring and optimizing all parameters for real-life conditions, not causing added confusion due to specs on the box.
