Make sure you get the 6500K Cool Daylight tube (865) and not the warm white ones.

Hey Ruslan, what does PLL stands for? Can a ballast meant for 4ft 36Watts fit for a 2ft 20Watts tube? I tried searching for information regarding that but I couldn't find any. Wondered if any DIY person has actually tried that.
Btw, wow! Your riccia garden rocks. How did you manage to keep them grounded (riccia floats easily from what I've seen). Also, when the riccia spreads, do you have to re-tie them to new areas again?
