I don't plan to seal the aquariums just use them to grow the plants in and make a landscape type setup. If it seems foolish to go with the tanks would it make more sense to build a large planter type box? I'm just bouncing ideas around right now end product I will have a room that is a desert in my house I just need to know the best way to successfully do so! I am a red seal carpenter so building something is totally in the picture for me and is a t5h just the bulb that's different from a t5 or is it the ballist and fixture as well? So if I used multiple t5h lights could I achieve the required light to successfully grow?
