Thread: Qt build (quicker than frims)

Thanks for that arceye

Just found a 6000k bulb says full spectrum daylight. In a bayonet bulb. Quote

This Androv energy saving lamp produces full spectrum light comparable to sunlight at midday. Full spectrum light helps restore the body's natural circadian rhythms, improving mood and energy levels

It's a apex same as the house but on the north face so not much light and means I would have to cut though a ceiling and the roof of a council house lol don't think they would aprove lol. I'll try get some pictures up tomorrow

So most the work gear has been evicted so this whole bit will be the grow on a little over 1mx1m. Water will be 1.25 deep but I'll be insulating 7ish foot to allow for filter and doing a false ceiling with insulation and doing the door as well keep it nice and toasty mount a shelf just above water for filter air pump feed and test kit. It's a couple foot from my kitchen so can keep a very close eye on them

More money and I think I would have gone for a nice window in the doorway lol

Thinking about getting some filter media bags and bagging the grog up and hanging it in the pond to try mature it a bit will this be OK to use in a shower for the grow. Once I've scraped the pond fish and made sure they are clean that is

Looking good there mate.
You could put a couple of your other small ones in it for a month or so to get it going.
I put mine in clean water and fresh media all new and they were fine.

Good call John

Small enough to help kick start the filters but not big enough to totally trash the water parameters too quickly

Just build feed up slowly like staring a new pond from scratch? Plan is to put all main pond fish in to get bd work done on main pond.

Only a few quid and a couple quid for a connector and wire as there is no light at all in there.

Sounds like you could do with 4 candles Aj

It's a standard filament light bulb and it's easier to make them give off something that is close to natural daylight compared to LED
