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? |

from orgast in AF, 1 x 36W osram = $10. elibiru comes in 10k too, but is reportedly shorter life. no idea how long it'll last, but pl or fl starts to dim from the day u first used them. think have to change every 6 months as a ball park figure.
an elibiru eballast (1x36w) is $14. the 2x36W one is $18. for more details best to pm him directly. ps. delaying the water change by another 5 days is indeed pushing your luck. why not just put back into filtered water instead? |
