Solid State Lighting (SSL) refers to a type of lighting that utilises light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as sources of illumination rather than electrical filaments or gas. The term "Solid State" refers to the fact that light in an LED is emitted from a solid object - a block of semiconductor - rather than from a vacuum or gas tube, as is the case in traditional incandescent and fluorescent lamps. Unlike these traditional lighting systems however, SSL creates visible light with reduced heat generation or parasitic energy dissipation leading to greater efficiency and lower energy costs. In addition the solid state nature of LED technology provides for greater resistance to shock, vibration and wear thereby increasing its lifespan considerably to more than 5x that of traditional lamp units.

The AquaRay AquaBeam 500 is a compact, 12w lighting strip - an affordable, modular design which gives the aquarist the flexibility to add on modules as required.

The importance of using Reverse Osmosis (RO) water for use in an aquarium cannot be over emphasised.
Reverse osmosis water is essentially free from chlorine, nitrates, phosphates and heavy metals and is an ideal base for making up salt solutions or for freshwater aquariums or replacement of evaporated loss.

Tap water is generally full of these pollutants and the effect on your aquarium can be quite severe depending on how bad the water is in your particular area, fueling algae and diatom blooms which must be then maintained by chemical methods.

This photo was taken at Calico, and is a typical example of a piece of our rock weighing approximately 4 kilos.

Indonesian rock is very similar to the rock imported from Fiji and Tonga, but it tends to be more porous, making it great value for money. We only ship our most colourful pieces and always supply a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to create the perfect aquascape.

Please note that we sell live rock in the shop for £9.00 per kilo. To encourage more online orders, we have discounted it to £8.50 per kilo on our website. Grab yourself a bargain! This offer is not available in store.
