Thanks to Roseman and other bubbleheads and their pics and whatnot im going DWC/bubbleponics, im a tight arse and i like to build my own gear, so im building one myself, i also live in australia and dont know if i can even buy the stealth system here...
anyway started with a clear 50L tub, all the black ones were 2 small or couldnt get a lid 2 fit...(fuck bunnings), so i gave it the old white black white treatment, frst white to prime the plastic (plastic bends alot and without its likely to chip and peel) the black to stop light getting into the tank and the last light coat of white to stop it attracting more heat that it needs to (i run HID)
i then went about drilling holes in the top for the netpots, my holesaw being to small this was quite amusing for my mate to watch.... and i was way to lazy to go out and buy a bigger one.
the first one was just a laugh i cut a single whole in the top and used all sorts of shit to TRY and cut it out bigger...FAIL!!
so i eventually get the drill out with the biggest piece and cut whole 1-2mm apart and then cut the wholes out with a saw looking thing on a swiss army knife and did the same for the second.... it wasnt to bad but then i stoped smoking cones and straitened up...
the 3rd and 4th i drilled 3 holes with my larest holesaw and smoothed them out with my stanly knife and covered them with gaffa tape..
i then covered the top with mylar and and taped it down and cut 4 X's over the netpots
i also cut a small whole in the side and covered it with mylar and cut an X for the air lines and cords...
all i need are my bubblers & pumps which i should be getting tomorrow
any comments or critisizms welcome....
btw i always double my mylar over to make sure it actually STOPs light....anyway thanks for checking it out
