10 hours to 12 hours are the best.Plants need their rest as well.
@f-fish,you can go with glass jars,water volume would have no impact and filtration unnecessary,you're not going to have any fish in there.What I...

That doesn't help,dude. Yeast based (sugar,yeast and water) is cheap in the short term,but the cost of sugar and the labour and time involved to...
