Small update

Hey everyone

So got the mesh siliconed in place, my current pump is way too loud and a bit bulky so a new one is needed. Ordered two MARINELAND mini-jet's 404 and 406, if the 404 doesn't suffice I will use the 406.

Another quick update,

Got the pumps in the mail, glad I ordered both because although the 404 is more quiet if does not allow all of the drippers to operate properly so I used the 406. It's not very loud either, I can sleep with it on.

Soon It will be planted, waiting ona bunch of plants in the mail. But I also currently have: Pothos, dwarf baby's tears(aquatic), baby's tears, aluminium plant, aquatic forget me not, java moss and a marimo ball. I wish I could get my hands on some HC Cuba..

Thank you! It's a single bright sadly I also have a 5500k 24w T5 and a 9w fluro, that I will be using. I also have a 400Watt Metal Halide but I think that might be overkill, even on it's own.
