hello to all,I am setting up my first aquaponics patch(have done hydroponics before) and living up in the north west of w.a. posses some problems,mainly the 50 degree days in summer,I would like to fit some u.v lazer light over the top of my settup to stop the growing media getting to hot and pre cooking my veges,my question is will the uv lazerlight effect the plant growth,does anyone have any ideas or suggestions or should I maybe try to use light shade cloth,cheers bruce |

Not sure about the UV laserlite in terms of affect on plant growth Bruce.... But out your way with the temps you get... I reckon a shade cloth would be needed anyway.. Maybe normal greenhouse film (for winter) ... with shade cloth over the top (for summer)... that can be rolled back during winter

Cyclones rupe  Use laserlight, and cover with shadecloth. Fayes vegies seem to grow quite well. |

Yep... was actually thinking of that after I posted... Not sure even covering the laserlite with shadecloth would withstand cyclonic winds though... A bit of a challenge.... guess you could triple screw the sheets... but they'd probably just shatter and scatter in a big blow anyway.... |

A profile other than Trimdek would have plenty of screws/metre, and probably have a closer purlin spacing too. Any way to put the shadecloth inside, or is it just a pergola-type construction and open to the wind? |

My choice would be small orb or roma in a pearl. Bout 50% light transmission and good heat reflection. |

Hi Bruce Small orb is the profile, laserlite call it roma, I consider it stronger than other profiles. Pearl or satin is a white transluscent. This tends to diffuse the light making it pleasant to work under. Here is the link to the laserlight product to give you a better idea. http://www.laserlite.com.au/residential ... te_xpt.asp |
