George:
To get 90 watts of light, I got a twin-tube 36" strip light from MOPS (about a hundred bucks I recall) then at Canadian Tire I bought a 36 watt "gro & sho" plant light" (about 15 bucks I recall) and attached the plant light onto the back of the strip light. I had to use some metal hooks to route the wires in the back of the strip light.
Mason:
I spend about 30 minutes every 2 weeks trimming and pruning.
As far as online plant trading, I live far away from any good retail source of plants. If anyone could send me a red tiger lotus (Nymphaea zenkeri) or Rotala Macrandra I would gladly send them an assortment of cuttings of all my plants.
