DIY Micro Wilma build?

Post by GMO »

Hi folks

This ran through my head so I though I'd share as I went

I want a Wilma but only really to veg at, the full system I want is like 100 quid and to order just the tank works out more expensive

So in the mean time and just for little ickle plants I thought I'd try put something together from what I have around the place

So

Under bed storage tub (I think it's about 20l but I will measure it before the end of the build)

ImageImage

2l plant pots

Image

So I've drilled them out and they will sit like so

ImageImageImage

I've also got a dripper made from this thread

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=1503

That's all I've got for now but tomorrow I will drill more smaller holes and a large hole in the lid for the pumps main pipe and power lead

I will be covering the tank also. I'm thinking a lick of paint then I'll wrap it in black/white sheet to be sure

Thoughts and input welcome

Alright moving on

Capacity is 25l, could probably fit 30 but 25 leaves a little room an means I can have it at a slight tilt towards the pump

Tank is under 24hr water tight test
