EasternMarine Aquariums is one of the largest marine livestock importers in New Zealand and Orphek has shared information about their setup and decision to use the OR 120 light bars over some of their aquariums.
In order to grow and enhance colors fast with both low heat and cost they chose Orphek’s newest launch – The Orphek Bar LED Lights.
In the past most coral farms and retail shops typically used T5 fluorescent lighting as their lighting source. But as times have changed so has the technology. After a lengthy testing phase with the OR 120 LED Bars, the lights produced amazing results according to EasternMarine Aquariums. As a result of their testing process, they decided to switch away from T5 lighting and go with the more cost effective technology while improving the color spectrum over their reef aquariums.

“Just thought I would send you thru a photo of our Australian coral import using your lighting – our corals LOVE them. Thanks.” -Matt, EasternMarine Aquariums
About Eastern Marine Aquariums
Founded in April 2017, EasternMarine Aquariums has grown to become one of the largest marine livestock importers in New Zealand.
Our experience and relationships with major marine exporters throughout the world means our customers enjoy a huge range of premium livestock at competitive pricing and flexible payment options.
We are proud operators of highly advanced, custom designed filter systems produced in the United Kingdom by the Tropical Marine Centre, or TMC for short.
TMC has a long history of producing exceptional products that deliver some of the best filtering abilities in the world and are used on a large variety of applications.
We are committed to providing New Zealand reefers with some of the healthiest livestock possible at an affordable price point. Our purpose built, state of the art quarantine facility located in Gisborne, New Zealand, allows us to house nearly 1200 fish and 700 coral pieces at any one time while ensuring all the livestock live in healthy, clean conditions.
In late 2017, EasternMarine expanded with the addition of a second, self-supported, livestock import facility.
The second import facility has allowed us to bring even more competitive pricing to the retail market, while also ensuring we make livestock releases more frequent. We now have a livestock release every 3 weeks.
