It sounds amazing, I can't wait to see it.
 
Installed a new water timer in the backyard yesterday..Have to install the program to my non work phone.
It waters plants for a few minutes to wet soil. then after a I think few minutes turns back on to water for the time.
It says it helps prevent water run off.
Called a beehive programmer...
 
water changes and making a DIY controller board for the 20G will take up some of my day. Also fabricating a mount to rotate the Reef Breeders meridian light 90 deg. on its mount, on the 20G
 
If you like big leaves grow a pumpkin. Elephant ears on mine, lol. This is only 80 square feet of growing area at best.
That pot is 22" in diameter.

Tried growing pumpkins a couple times when myself and my wife were involved in community gardens. One just the mini pumpkins and got several from that attempt. And once from a variety that maxed out at just over 10-12 lbs. Had a perfect one of those growing. What we didn’t know was woodchuck had burrowed under it, mad a hole to fit its head and ate almost all the good stuff . Wasn’t happy at all. Though in hindsight I have to at least respect its ninja moves.
 
Spicy stir fry beef and peas With penne for breakfast
Sauce is Worcestershire, a little soy sauce, garlic, hot sesame oil, and spicy mayo left over from sushi earlier in the week.

I have a Jecod doser 5.4 that I am hooking up to the 20g, I know its a cheap one, but if you want to chew me out about going cheap, unlike my Kamoer F4 pro on the 40G , do it in a DM please....lol
