I got one suggestion...Dont do it. Dont use the aquarium...Its pointless

For one, glass "eats" useable light. Meaning any light shining through the glass has been filtered and deflected in different directions thus the plants really cant use it..(believe it or not)

Second, the aquarium is an aquarium, not a grow box..Its just not gonna work out too well for ya growing in that man. The tin foil is gonna burn your plants and deflect light away from your plants instead of reflecting it towards them. The glass is gonna deplete usable light. The temperatures are gonna get very hot due to poor ventilation. And last but not least, its going to be pretty difficult to keep the humidity levels down. Thus your plants arent going to grow very well in a sweltering cube of moist air with hot spotted lights...

What you SHOULD do, is actually MAKE a grow box out of wood. Or even use a large cardboard box. You need some ventilation or the plants will sufficate. You shouldnt use tin foil because it just doesnt work good. Paint the inside of your growbox flat white or look into purchasing some Mylar...
GRB.4.Life Reviewed by GRB.4.Life on . lights and fishtank I have this fishtank and under it are a few sockets for lamps, would it be wise to put a few Compact Fluoros there and let them shine the botom of the plant through the glass or should I just cover the bottom with foil ? I 'll be putting a few floros over the plants too. Rating: 5
