just wanted to ask is it more better using PL light to make algae wall or green water for a indoor tank ?


currently have a empty 4ft tank . thinking of rearing goldfish with green water .

green water is better. It must be pea soup green. I saw it in japan sakai koi farm mud pond

ya i know . but the problem is mine is indoor tank not mud pond .

if using green water need to on the pl light on long run which is not good for the electric bill .

i think i better use clear water , before any complain on the way
