my 5 feet update

Hi,

Your lighting is 70W mh, appreciate you could let me know where you got them and the stand. PM me the cost if possible, I'm looking into change my light without increase the wattage.

Thanks.

i got it from: http://www.viclite.com/ and diy myself the stand

The choice of plants are great for that lighting. Anything more will require higher output.

What i don't understand is why did you order a 5x2x2 & only fill 3/4 of the tank's total volume? I'm sure you have your reasons.

Cheers!

i dun wanna waste money on chiller running overtime.. didn't need to much water either..

haha.. can't afford that much electricty bill man.. now so expensive.. so try to cut what i can...


so far lights no prob but got an issue, cause i run them on individual plug, so u got 2 plug, certain mulitiplug i cannot use, i dunno why, my ben timer just skips the time to switch it on. though it is already at on mode, but no light.

light tubes are from osram daylight. wanted to get the vinclite 8k one but they were no stock. so can't wait cause that time was chinese new year cannot have dark tank i house.

i see the price from DE lightings, find it ex.

the material i bought, aluminum 1 long piece $22 (cause they dun allow me to buy certain size), but allowed me to use their radial saw to cut to size. some L brackets, think prob about $10, some rivets at home.

together with a electric drill, and rivet gun, i place the parts together.

so i spent bout that amount to DIY.

i was trying to find the black corner part DE light stand has, the shop never sell.

anyway to mount the light i only used cable tie and stainless steel wire, i dun like it fixed.
