Toby - what is the blue thing on the right side? CO2 reactor?

 

[Tobykourtney]

Yea I was trying an external but i couldn't figure out a way to route the excess co2 that was accumulating in the PVC pipe into the intake so I went with an internal reactor. The plan Is to paint the blue part black and the plants will hide it soon enough.

agreed, and the incandescent bulbs you have, will not grow any plants regardless. with those standard 10 gallon hoods, i just get a couple of coralife 15w daylight bulbs.

Thats what i have. Wait, now im confused. I have 2 15w bulbs. 30w combined.

I miss the way my 10g used to look

I think its more important to look a t lumen output. With lighting becoming more efficient you will see more lumens out of a linear T8 that you would a CFL in the same wattage. Also color spectrum I think plays a factor. I noticed that the plant lamps are mostly red and blue spectrum.

Mine aren't anywhere near as nice as these, still got a lot of work to do on them, plants have just started to grow. Its taken a while to get them going, especially the 20 gallon as the light is no where near adequate, getting a new one soon!

I don't know why it won't let me post all pics at once

 

[Josie.paolillo]

Sorry what am I doing wrong?

Here is my new 20gal I picked up at petco $1/1gal sale. Kinda Frankensteined it from misc parts I had laying around. So far this build cost me less than $60. Including dual T5HO lighting.

I think you will need to upgrade to a bigger tank for the sword soon.

I think you will need to upgrade to a bigger tank for the sword soon.

+1 I like the footprint of the 20 L and you get the most out of your lighting. However, that also limits you to smaller plants.
