Hi tirtha
No such Luck... I Know its set me back a bit, but since this was something I really wanted to do well decided to go with the best available. Attaching th epicture of the light set for you, the inside is a bit difficult to get will post that later. BTW the Fixture is only 35mm in height. I think one of the sleekest ones in the market.
The Additives are used for creating a good substrate environment. Like Tourmaline BC, Clear super and Penac W. Penac P is to help the root system of the plants. Also in combination these additives prevent the sustrate from becoming Anaerobic, and keeps general plant health good.
