well the lights are working great. Right now i just have 2 java fern in the tank and they dont seem to be growing much sadly. IDK im new at this whole planted tank thing and havent spent much time or money on it. Hopefully over winter break i can find some time to make the tank a nice planted.

Yea i took my carbon out, but now am doubting my decision. Someone smart please hit us with facts that will give us comfort

what r ya growing?

thank you! and i really hope so. 1.5 wpg isnt so bad

well i went to home depot and looked for a tube, but they didnt have the right light spectrum, so i just got a flora sun from petsmart

no love huh? I thot this was a pretty slick Diy job if i do say so myself. I just drilled some holes and cut some wires and walaaa

Finished it!!

got it working!

Master Shake from ATHF. Carved it last night

Tank looks great! what are you using for light?

Yea i also have this chrome reflector that the black light kit came with so the parts i cut off will be replaced with that.

Hey guys! After getting some plants like Java Fern, i decided that the 15w T8 light in my 20 gallon high just isnt gunna be enough to get the growth that i wanted out of my plants. I didnt have the type of money for an expensive T5HO lighting system, but i think i found a great DIY way to...

I think i found some brilliance! My parents have a black light kit that they brought out for halloween. It happens to be 18" T8, and 15w. The exact same as my fish tank light! Here it is: Creative Motion 18" Black Light Tower Light (15 Watts) Now what i am planning to do it take it apart...

This is all with 20W of light and some ferts! amazing!

yea thats a good idea. Or i could even get another hood and add the light to it
