A completely new way to mount fluorescent tubes over an aquarium. The Arcadia Overtank luminaire is a stylish unit and is manufactured from corrosion resistant, silver powder-coated, aluminium. Unlike a conventional aquarium hood, the overtank luminaire is raised from the tank on sturdy supports, which attach securely onto each end of the aquarium, and are adjustable to allow for slight differences in tank length. When access to the aquarium, or to the tubes is required, the luminaire tilts backwards, and rests on its hinge until being lowered back into place.In nature, many plants grow beyond the water surface, and when they do so often produce leaves of a completely different shape to those produced underwater - often looking like completely different species. When using a conventional hood, we only ever see the submerged form of a plant, but the use of an overtank luminaire allows the possibility of witnessing this interesting phenomenon in our own home.
