My Greenwater Experiment Options

[d_golem]

Hi guys,
I'm new here and I've tried making green water. Can u guys comment if i'm on the right track here?

Set up is a 55 litre plastic tub filled with about 30 litre dechlor water (i used Stress coat, the one with aloe vera in it, does the aloe vera affects the cultivation at all?), 2 feeder fish each about 10-12 cm long, a new airstone, and a little 8 wat "daylight" bulb to keep the light going at night time. I put the tub outside under a uv filtered plastic shading and it received sunlight about 9-10 hours a day.

On the first 7 days there was no reaction at all, meaning the water was fairly clear and never got to the stage of "murkiness" in desireless' indoor green water cultivation method. But by the 8th day suddenly the poo became dispersed and debris started floating around much like day 3-6 of desireless' pictures. By the 9th day green tinge started to appear. the rest u guys can see from the pics:

Day 8





Day 9





Day 11





What do u guys think?

cheers & thx a lot

Green water has no problem striving in outdoor conditions.

The article which I have written is meant for indoor cultivation. For hobbyists who do not have access to outdoor environment (an outdoor pond, tub). Most local hobbyists (in Singapore) stay in high rise buildings and owning outdoor ponds is almost impossible.

The step of keeping the light on at night is unnecessary. Plant and fishes have a life-clock themselves. So there need a time when they will need rest. The light will disturb their rest.

The Green in your experiment looks good. You can now transfer this newly-achieved brew as the seeding volume for your new outdoor tub
