hey burr about how much PAR do you have on the hygrophila araguaia? trying to get mines as red as yours lol
PAR there is about 118. The color also has a lot to do with the bulbs. T5s rock!
@burr740 are we ok to article the mesh wall build for reference?
Sure, are you going to do it or do you want me to?
I went back to the drawing board a little on the design. To prevent shrimps and small fish from going behind it, hiding or getting stuck, I decided to turn a 3/4" edge all around. That's about how much it stands off the glass.
I used a sheet metal break (for bending metal). But you can do it by hand using a hammer on a hard surface.
This stuff is pretty soft, and the perforations make it easy to fold over in a straight line. Mash it over first with your hands, then take a hammer and bang the crease real good. This will create a sharp, lasting bend. Easy peezy.
Use zip ties to secure the corners and anywhere two pieces meet
Quick pic after installing the side
Still looking for more Christmas moss to do the left side. If anyone has a softball or so they want to sell let me know.
