Wow, so glad I found this thread! I've got a goldfish tank that has weird dimensions, it's 4ft long but shallow, so while the swimming space is there for my 3 little guys, the water volume is not sufficient to keep the nitrates down for long. I've heard of using pothos, we've got those in the community, but hydroponics always sounded so complicated. Thanks a ton for making it seem simpler nd easy to understand! Question - would regular aquarium T8 bulbs in the planted spectrum (roughly 6500k, not sure what each individual bulb is, that's my bf's area) be good enough for the terrestrial plants too? Would we need to switch it up or just giv'er and keep an eye on the distance from the bulbs? I'm assuming for houseplants that isn't a problem, since they are usually making do with sunlight from windows.
