Do you just set it on top of the tank?
Youre so thin at 2012 😀
2018
I brought a used fish tank floroscent and it looks purplish when I turn it upside down is it good for plant growing? But in the tank doesn't really look purplish what type is it?
Are t8 only good for fish only tanks?
so old…
thanks man you have solved my problem I was very worried about light all was set just lights were remaining…… Thankyou for an amazing episode
good video. I have no skills this plug and play might work for me. if I were to hang above the tank 1-2 feet above the tank, would it still work?
Brilliantly cheap & practical. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.
It's pronounced
[BAL -uh st]. Nice video tho.
thumbs up for a fellow east coaster!! – from newfoundland
A little smear of Vaseline or electrical lube on the connections/bulb prongs will avoid corrosion. 😉
What air pump do you use?
Just did this for a aquarium, thank you soo much joey, got the same exact shop light as you and the same bulbs. only costed 15 and i saved 10% because employee discount. have been watching your videos for a long time, just thought i should share that i saved over 200 dollars on my aquarium because of your tips and tricks! Thank you!
going to try this thank you .let you know how I make out
great idea, but if it's got an old fashion tar ballast, id pass. An electronic ballast will be lighter weight and run the bulbs more effiecently with brighter light.
It's pronounced Bal-ist…not BLAST….and that's in Canada too.
Sucks that there's no 3ft shop lights anywhere?!
Suitable for plants?
might be ignorant but as far as i could see that wasn't lit up at all, fish still looked shadowy and black
is it bad for algae?
2:35 it's all out of love 😀
Thanks for the money saving idea genius
