well I don't know much about titan, this system works great, however c.a.p. is out of business so replacement parts will probably go up or not be available

here is too small pot like 2gallon . it is not enough to grow. not excellent. only module and 55gallon reservoir can beused to remake system.

In an enclosed space yes, depends on what you're growing also. Different plants would like different lighting I found this a great lighting system for vegtative growth it was less then par for flower development by all means you cannot go wrong on the price and quality hydrofarm is on par with many 200w systems of other names

We moved ours very carefully and never had a problem with the growing process. Ours started growing within the first hour.

I've been using the system for one year and so far it has help up fine. Sprinklers have not clogged, even with watering everyday (I'm in New Orleans). Additionally, it went through a freeze and there was no damage. So, while probably not as great as a professional watering system - I think it's certainly worth the money and time to set up. And, it's the easiest drip system to set up in my experience.

I bought both because I have a heavily shaded back yard. Back along the back fence it gets no light in the spring and summer. I only put dense shade seed along the back fence and shady nooks everywhere else. Prepped soil as recommended and kept wet for 2 weeks. The shady nooks and the dense both germinated, but the dense was alot slower. Yard is green and thick but the dense is still filling in. I added some miricle grow lawn food to it this weekend. I think the trees are robbing the food Im thinking about feeding it with jonathan green green up this weekend. time will tell.

I bought 6 mil white plactic ? Poly . Got mine from Mega Greenhouse, 24 x55 ft. Placed it over the green that was on there, as it had just deterriated away. Have had it for 2 years now and still good. Had extra and used it on a smaller 6x8 greenhouse with same material as the larger one. Lasted a little longer , but same fate. Wll check out the Deltacanopy.com that was posted here to see what they have to offer.

We have both this light and a grow light and the plants in our tank are doing beautifully. Plus, we cut our electricity bill by more than 65%. We used to have two grow lights, but we are very happy with this set-up now. Hope this helps.

I have the pod and my shrimp are thriving. I purchased the sphere for my 9 year old grandson and his shrimp are healthy and active as well. I can see no difference between the two systems other than their look. They are both super easy to care for if you just follow the instructions and find the right light source for them.

I have the same tank, with CO2 I run it for 4 on, 1 off, 4 on, and I keep the blue turned off. It is also off center so I cast a shadow past my drift wood for a med-low light area. With these lights I have to dose with fert like twice a week to keep up. Hope you've got lots of plants. With this light I have micro swords and dwarf baby tears growing, and some s. repens is thriving. For some reason though I can not get any species of java fern to grow it just sort of hangs on.

I run 1 in each of my 306's, I have seen an increase in plant growth and super clear water because of it. When my rack gets up and running all of the filters will run it.UPDATE 1-13-15: I now typically run 2 100 ml bags in each of the 306's now that I have the rack up and running for over a year now, everything is clear and stable, plant growth is good but not great, all tanks are low tech with no ferts or CO2, very low live stock load also, varied plants from Java moss to Vals.

I use a quantum badboy T5 8 bulb light and my plants grew about 2 inches a day long as you keep the nutes and PH at right levels and you should have nice lush plants, so far I have grown Rosemary, Basil and tomatoes using DWC you definitely can't go wrong with this set up

I can't find a chart specifically for the Planted+ but from what I've read the Planted+ series sits roughly between the FugeRAY and Finnex RAY II for PAR output. I have the 36" Planted+ Fixture and it works great for most plants. It does a good job of bringing the reds out in my shrimp as well. I would say one fixture puts out medium lighting. Here's a graph for both models in the 36" length: http://i46.tinypic.com/20k41uv.jpg http://i46.tinypic.com/14wsrcx.jpg I also found this PAR data for a 24" Planted+ fixture: 3": 185 6": 117 9": 88 12": 61 15": 45

It has a very nice light that is ment for plants, it's quite bright. Look for med-low light plants like Java moss, moss balls, hair grass, and small Amazon swords. No co2 system needed but you can buy co2 to add to the water to give the plants a jump start on growing.

I have tried hydro with good results,however,it is a lot more involved than you are led to believe and more expensive.I do not use it anymore,the hydro reservoir is now a shelf for my plants.Personaly,I would stay away from hydro systems.

I run the FX5 on my 125 planted aquarium same as the FX6, I love it , the 406 would the job cause it's for 100gal tank but w plants , the bigger the better , clean it once a month n change carbon , plus it gives u more options media , FX6 in my opinion is the way to go

the difference is the products hobbyist pack is ur basic bloom booster riperners b vitamens and root booster, next level is flush, sweetner, and root aphids, 3rd level is enzymes, more root aphids, and kelp organic taste/smell enhancer, 4th lvl is ur bud site multiplier, bud factor x which is bloom booster sweetner and more, and rhino skin is your silicon hope this helps great line up just build slowly

Hello! I bought one awhile back and it seems to be a medium fast grower...not slow, but not fast either... Its definitely worth waiting for. They are BEAUTIFUL! ENJOY:-)
