Chengdu Public aquarium Photos

Chengdu is one of the largest cities in China and recently it has been developing and expanding its businesses due to investments in projects developed by HongKong Dragon Group Limited, such as the 6 billion Yuan invested in the Seaside City located in the JiaoLong Port. The complex that includes shopping centers, ice rinks, office buildings and a five star hotel also includes an outstanding Oceanarium.



Officially opened on New Year's Eve and Located at B Zone of shopping mall, the world class aquarium project gathers different experts teams around the world including the Australians leading architectural design company Crossley Architects PTY Ltd and Advanced Aquarium Technologies Limited engaged in international aquarium projects; the world-known acrylic panel manufacturer Nippura Co. Ltd.; and Orphek, responsible for the LED Lighting systems.



LIGHTING PROJECT DEVELOPED & SUPPLIED BY ORPHEK

Orphek was chosen as sole supplier of LED lighting solutions to Chengdu Aquarium due to its long settled worldwide reputation and because the construction of this project demanded the most advanced technologies available in the market, due to its challenges and its ambitions to reflect China’s greatness.
 

Orphek has also proven to be the only leading company in LED lighting for aquariums sharing the same passion for design that the developers of this project demanded, by developing products and solutions that not only answers to the needs of the living creatures of these aquariums, but also able to offer solutions where the integration of light sources, conceptual design and architectural elements were desired. The developers of these exquisite tanks recognized our long lasting commitment to excellence, efficiency, technological development and design.

AQUARIUM CHENGDU BREAKING A GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

China is known for its greatness. It is the most populous country in the world with a population crossing the 1.35 billion people and it has constructed the largest wall of the world that measures not less than 21, 196km and that it can be seen from the Moon. Chinese are also know for their competitive nature and their determination to outperform, out-earn and outgrow the rest of the world, so no wonder they hold more than 100 Guinness world records, from the weirdest such as the longest female hair, or the biggest number of needles inserted in a head, to spectacular ones such as the tallest sand sculpture of the world.



When it comes to architecture and installations, especially the ones involving technology, China has also set many records. Besides having the largest number of active cell phones of any country in the world and the largest number of Internet and broadband users it holds the record for largest sound and light show on a single building. Today China is also breaking a record in the field of Marine Aquariums Exhibitions!

BREAKING A GUINNESS WORLD RECORD!

Visitors coming to the Oceanarium will experience a unique architectural wonder: The largest acrylic viewing area in the world with 10,000 m³ of water storage with over ten thousands of marine organisms from all corners of the Earth!



The Oceanarium is one of the largest in China displaying the world’s largest acrylic panel with 40m Long and 8.3m. High. It overpasses the Singapore S.E.A Oceanarium, a world-record holder of a 36m indoor aquarium. Not only the Cube Oceanarium has been claimed as one of the world's most breathtaking aquarium journeys, but also offers tours for visitors to explore warm and cold waters exhibits, from the Pacific, to deep-sea trenches; across the tropical seas to the Amazon; to the Northern Arctic and back again.



Tourists will also have the opportunity to learn more about marine creatures with fantastic activities such as sleeping with sharks, learning about creature foster caring and expedition in a submarine for underwater sightseeing and have an entertaining moment watching undersea ballet shows and experiencing a time capsule.

Planted Tank lit by four Orphek PR72

Planted Tank lit by four Orphek PR72 Our friend and customer Alain resides in France and Alain sent us a photo update of his planted tank that is lit by four Orphek PR72 Planted Tank LED Pendants.  The first photo was taken early January when the PR72's were first installed.  The second and third photo show dramatically increased plant growth in just three months.  Many of the plants are light demanding and the Orphek PR72 can easily provide the PAR and spectrum they require.

Winners of Azurelite photo contest of Facebook

Winners of Azurelite photo contest of Facebook, We are proud to announce the winners in our Azurelite photo contest on the Orphek LED lighting facebook page. It was great to see all of the photos that were shared with our facebook contest and it was very difficult to narrow them down to three winners.

We began by narrowing the 100+ submissions down to 12 finalists and then the panel of judges was allowed to select three each. The three winners each received four votes placing them at the top. Here are the winners and then just for fun the remaining 9 photos that were in the final.

We will be contacting the winners and shipping out their free Azurelite flashlight shortly. Stay tuned to the Orphek facebook page for more exciting contests and info about reefkeeping.

UK Customer reports outstanding coral growth in three months using the Atlantik V2.1

UK Customer reports outstanding coral growth in three months using the Atlantik V2.1. Our customer in the UK has sent us two photos, the first photo shows his tank the day the Atlantik V2.1 was used.  The second photo was recently taken showing the present growth.  During this time our customer said he has trimmed the coral a few times and sold the frags.  We can certainly see the difference in growth among the various coral.  Our customer’s story is not an isolated story but one we hear quite often from our customers.

Orphek LED lighting has been working with coral farms

Orphek LED lighting has been working with coral farms to enhance product health and vigor as well as increase sales all while reducing operational costs and electrical usage.

Karen and Paul from Dragonfly Corals in Indianapolis are dedicated to sustainable coral farming and have been working in their greenhouses since 2006 using as much of natures natural light as possible. Featured in the February 2013 edition of Scientific American magazine the couple remains very humble about their operation which caters to the midwest providing 100% farmed corals to stores throughout the area at reasonable costs.

Karen and Paul also support the local marine club INDMAS (Indiana Marine Aquarium Society). They regularly host meetings and help to share the info of coral health and sustainable farming practices.

 

Karen and Paul are never in the warehouse without their Azurelite flashlights to show store owners what corals look like with some actinic lighting. They have begun to use the light when taking pictures for the website to enhance the natural beauty of their corals and as a result have been able to increase attention to some of their gems, focus efforts on more productive species and identify corals that can be farmed and productive for them.

Farms are becoming increasingly aware of heat issues, power draw and overloads as well as annual replacements for bulbs in fixtures using both T5 and Metal Halides. Most power companies offer incentives to businesses who make the switch to LED from light sources that use larger amounts of power. The entire Orphek Atlantik line of lights is designed to deliver light to corals in the PUR (Photosynthetically Usable Radiation) range with almost no waste. This translates to fast growth, excellent color and increased revenue all while reducing operating costs.

From shallow growout tables to mother colony tanks and deep water exhibits. Orphek is able to provide for all of your lighting needs. Results, Reliability and Design.
