Simple CGE Built on Aquarium

Post by Luke »

This started as a cheap experiment for a larger idea, but has actually turned out not too shabby.
Aim- to test a contained growth environment above/in, an indoor aquarium.
How- 1) raise sides on half the fish tank hood so lid is level. 2) apply aluminum-foil to as much internal surface as possible. 3) cut airhole in back of hood, add short air pipe to window and computer case fan for air circulation. 4) find pieces of foam and containers to float the bonsais. 4) add growth light on a timer.
have a look... any ideas and comments welcome.

lol.. so can i josh! haha (i have for quite a wile!).. bring it on i say!!... I am lex as to see what happens when the warrant is executed, only to find everything is above board! ? ? ..Do i get get a pat on the back :?: Do i get a "sorry mate, nice bonsai's". ?? :lol: Seriously though,, I keep fish- (Power), bonsai- (Water) and i keep odd hours!, . . there is no doubt i could and have been perceived as suspect from angels :!: !!...(i built a couple of hydroponic setups for veg a couple years ago, i was expecting a visit back then).....i know theres a better than good chance i have already been looked into by the powers that be!. Maybe they are looking at me right now?... watching me picking my nose! :shock: ... :? hahahaha... im no angel! but im no criminal! :D
What you think josh?

Edit to add.. im pretty sure the law enforcement people involved don't go raiding, Any and All, (hydroponic growing) enthusiast's homes!. Id assume there is much surveillance and Intel gathering first... if only to insure no red faces! or wasted resources.??... i dont like the fact that i could be observed and documented!, but what other options are there... drug dealers and growers don't advertise or look different! and because of them, anyone with a greenhouse or growth light is a potential offender. What can ya do?.. :|
