Here we go,.. A first for me in the UK section with plenty photos and updates along the way .. First a little rundown of the set up 2, Atami Wilma Systems,, 9 pots each, 18 litre pots,, homemade drip rings,, 2 pond pumps,4000lt instead of the ones which comes with these sort of systems much better flow rate with the pond pumps, and quieter too, but also have submersible aquarium pumps with filters in the res running 24 hours non stop always just to keep the flow moving and in case of any debri falling of plant into water better be safe than sorry. The nutes will be canna a and b flores and a bit liquid silicon if needed a bit of liquid seaweed and ph down and a small amount of hydrogen food grade peroxide thats the lot, nothing more nothing less plain and simple.. The lights are leds,,
QB boards 3500k.. 720 watts each system plain and simple, they have served me well lately no complaints from me whatsoever, maybes in time, i may add but thats not now,, the res size is 140 and 150 litres,, older and newer side by side,, and will be running 18 TOPDAWG STARDAWG MANNYS gifted to me a while ago from a generous gardener.. Thanks a lot for looking in Cheers ..

@ Mitsuharu dolphins and mackerels very soon my friend keep an eye open weather is warming up..

@ cheapwine ran these a few times now so hopefully they should give back some sparkling diamonds so to speak..

@ Dequilo will try to get it right and take it to the darkside but with a bit luck and a bit diamond shine maybes stay on the brightside..

@ ukbudz Thanks for the company i hear you on the stardawg rep and agree if grown well shes a winner all my pals cry out for her always ..

@ Budshine yes its easy for me plug and play at times and yes 4 heatsink boards and 12 120w quantum boards with added uv and some sort of reds or far reds new compared to my old boards only used these twice as of now..

@ sdd420 Nice to have you here my friend ted lasso pmsl and woof woof to you too hope all is well..

@ stunkfrunk Nice to see you here yes these systems more or less are the easiest ive ever used so far but then again i only done soil and dwc previously this suits me i hear you on bowie too old school class of 74 i think ..

Thank You Uludag for looking in much appreciated:tiphat: The ladies are starting to show crowns as i call them so lift off has commenced room temperature is at 28c.. ec is at a steady 2.0... ph is up and down between 5.2 and 6.2... humidity is ok for now 60 rh.. But will drop it when need be, and for now they are liking it, water temperature in both rezes is at 23c a little high but it doesnt seem to bother these ladies they are still praying towards the light ran it numerous times at that now and if it dont bother them it sure as hek dont bother me, but will have to remind the wife keep the bloody heating off so to speak :biggrin: Anyhow thats all for now a few added photos will try to update weekly but fishing season is on the cards and must get the boat ready for the season as well as other chores so for now stay safe always and thanks again guys for looking in always appreciated:thank you::good:
