I am working on a new system to accommodate 3-6 plants.
Will be a aero/sump combo using living bacteria for filtration.
starting off I have a allglass aquariums megaflow model 4 sump
I am doubleing up the filtration and will be using carbon filters and a oxy skimmer to fill the water with large amounts of oxygen and co2.
The oxygen will be for living bacteria in the bioballs and biofilters.
For a pump I will be using a 750gph lifegard quietone 3000
I am going to be adding a timer and a timed liquid releaser for nutes
will be using a hydro eth 300 for heating the water
for the clear plexiglass problem I am going to be lining the inside with hushcloth
which will hold the water temp very well.
for lights I am going to be using some very new lights they are made by marineland/tetra for rapid corral growth supposed the bulbs are 15w equal to 100w mh on the lumenscale and I will be using them in these hoods
(simple retrofits)
I will also be running 7 5400k eclipse cfls.
I should have enough light to rock some plants out.
For air I will be using 4 air hockey table fans (very high output low $ for usage) which I will mount to the top blowing the into the system taking the fresh moisture from the oxy skimmer and will blow the co2 up to my plants leaves and keep them nice and cool.
will and 7-12 aerojets along with a umbrella fountian.
so far I have over 1200$ invested in this madness of a project but I just can't sleep without trying. I will have pics once I finish building it I have all but the retrofit hoods.
