Key insights about video SD Hydro, Carlsbad CA - Aquaponic Tray Gardening

🌿 Retrofitting lights to an aquaponic tray system can enhance the beauty of the waterscape and waterfall.

🌿 The 600 watt metal halide parabolic reflector currently in use may not be providing sufficient light coverage to the plants at the outside edges.

🌿 By installing the 420 series lights, the light coverage is improved by approximately 200 watts and the fixtures run cooler than the metal halide lights.

🌿 The 100 watt indigrose lights add a design element and help bring out the detail on the rock patterns.

🌿 The trays have been retrofitted with the 420 series lights, resulting in better light coverage for the plants with 200 watts less power.

🌿 The 420 series lights have been installed for only one day, so it will be interesting to see the difference in vegetative growth after a week.

🌿 The improvements made with integral lighting can have a significant impact on the overall growth and aesthetic appeal of the aquaponic system.
