How are the lights working out and how did you source/identify lighting types to use? Is the setup up and running?

I ask as I went back and forth trying to work out what sort of lights to use to make one of these for my copepod culturing and in the end gave up as I didn’t want to waste money trying multiple options.

Hi sorry for late repsonse.

The lighting was recommended to me via a friend who had big success with this temperature of lights.

The culture us now up and running, I will post an update in approx 7-10days with the results.

Thank you! I look forward to it - I’ve got an array of suitable vessels, air pumps, tubing, etc etc so am keen to find out about how the lighting works out!
