    And I thought our LFS charging R50.00/kg for Dragon Rock was expensive. Hectic!

    T5 24w x 2 = 48 watts.

    Really stunning.

    With FishLover on this one. Think it looked nicer without the potted plant addition.

    Love the photo that you posted on the 25th. Wish my plants would come along like that!

    I think I will give it a try I read that plants need a minimum of 5 hours so 6 will be good, but I will drop the time slowly I will first decrease it with 30 minutes for a couple of days and then another 30 minutes. I read somewhere that it needs to be done like this.
