A few images from our stand at Interzoo 2010 in Nurnburg, Germany. A great show this year, and we had some exciting new products on show, including the OT2 LED and our new range of Eco-Aqua LED Aquarium lamps. Technical details of all of the products launched are on our website - www.arcadia-uk.com.
Continue reading Arcadia launches new Eco-Aqua LED Lamps at Interzoo 2010 We have just launched a new range of T5 Marine lamps, which are available to order from all good Marine retailers now. The Marine Hybrid is a new T5 lamp formulation based on a 60/40 phosphor mix of our Marine White 14K and Marine Blue 420nm lamps. The resultant spectrum of the lamp combines high brightness, with large amounts of energy in the photosynthetic wavelengths required for coral growth. Continue reading T5 Marine Hybrid lamps launched Arcadia have just launched their new range of Halogen basking lamps, which provide a highly efficient source of light and heat.
Both white and blue versions are available to order now from all good aquatic retailers.

How can you be sure that the frozen food you purchase is of high enough quality to provide a decent diet for your snakes? Do all in one lizard frozen meals really do the trick?? In these days of smaller houses and busier lifestyles it is very hard to think of a snake that doesn’t take much in the way of husbandry and space. I have been collecting the smaller Boas for a while now and I find them to be perfect snake pets. Not only are the Rosy, and sand Boas very small but they require very little in the way of upkeep, and can be kept in small groups. Continue reading Small Boas Estrilda Astrild. The St Helena waxbill or common waxbill used to be one of the most common of waxbill species imported for the pet trade. That is until the ban in imports nearly 5 years ago now. So how are we doing with this the most wonderful of pet birds? Well there is a simple answer to that question, not very well. Yes captive breeding in the U.K is higher in number since 2006 but we breed a fraction in the U.K to the number bred on the continent. Why is this? I will try in this blog to answer this question as well as describe the bird and some subspecies and tell of my experience of keeping the common waxbill. When Nannacara anomola is occasionally for sale in retailers it is too often overlooked as being a relatively small brown fish, with nothing especially making it stand out, particularly when there are more familiar dwarf cichlids such as Rams and Kribs, who win out almost every time due to the more immediately obvious bright colours.

Designed from the outset to provide the same spectacular colour rendition as Arcadia fluorescent lamps, the new Eco-Aqua lamps blend multiple coloured LED sources, bringing out the vivid iridescent colours of fish and providing far more natural colour rendering than other LED lamps. Unlike fluorescent lamps, whose even light distribution can flatten the look of an aquarium, the multiple point sources of the Eco-Aqua lamps create light and shadow giving a dramatic three-dimensional look to the aquarium with far more visual impact.
Arcadia has just launched a new high power submersible led spotlight for use in marine and freshwater aquariums. Available with a choice of blue or white one Watt LEDs, the new submersible spotlight produces a powerful single beam that can be used to highlight individual corals or plants. Able to be used above or below water the directional spotlight attaches to the aquarium glass by sucker or can be screw fixed to an aquarium hood.
The first installation of a new low energy LED lighting system from Arcadia has just been completed at the Maidenhead Aquatics store in Brighton. Maidenhead Aquatics approached Arcadia in July when they were still planning the electrical installation at the new store to see if it was possible to reduce the energy consumption of the lighting for the livestock systems. Currently the stores use T8 lamps with magnetic ballasts, which provide excellent results, but require 252 Watts of electricity to light each 2.4m section of the three tiered livestock bays.
