Brew Green Water In A 2ft Tank Options

[sheringam]

Propose brew green water in 2ft tank project

1. 23.5" x 11.5" x 13" fiveplan brand tank
2. 51.81 litres of water (13.71 gallons of water), around 12.5" depth of water
3. 2ft DIY PL lights with 2 36W OSRAM tubes and e-ballast
4. Simple sponge filter to collect goldfish poos
5. Wooden air block for aeration
6. 2 4.5" to 6" ranchus

Is it possible to brew green water in 2ft tank rather than tub? I've all the equipment with me except the PL lights which I've yet to collect from a bro who help DIY PL lights. Will switch on the PL lights non-stop for 3-4 days or until the green water turn dark green?

stocking level. (incl tails)
2 pcs r/w short tailed rhukin 5"
2 pcs r/w buffalo head ranchu 3.5"
5 pcs r/w and red ranchu ranging from 2.5" to 4"

my goodness, my green water holds roughly the same volume as yours, and i only put in 2 3+ inch ranchu. and ammonia could easily go into warning on the Seachem Ammonia Alert if i am not careful.

or put it this way. i wouldn't even put 9 goldfish in a 100L FILTERED tank, let alone a greenwater tub which has a far lower stocking ratio than a filtered system.
