Thank u very much 4 taking the
time 2 view and respond here. U R B A N AQUASCAPING is about harmony between Hardware and Software. Hardware = Aquarium/cupboard (1) + Soil/Stone/Wood (2). Software = Water/Plants/fish (3). We aspire to experience that triangle as it is and always was one life tissue. . . . . |

Looks to be a "urban" decor instead of a river,stream or lake bed that we aquascape with now. Instead of rocks and wood it has gravel coated "buildings". Think sunken cities. It appears to be modern/contemporary aquascaping. Notice the backgrounds and such on the different tanks.
It is different that is for sure, Id use something other then styrofoam panels in the decor. |

Hi there,
And now for a brief up-date; I worked on building the "technology" that will sink U R B A N AQUASCAPING structures deep into the blue water. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I will be forced to build the Ario 4 'House' again from glass cos' I found the solution that already build not as good as I need. Mean while at a parallel universe I share Proto-Tipe development of an led light for planted aquarium and hopefully it will be ready within few weeks, we would like (My friend and I) to think of that as a solution that may be define by the term U R B A N NATURAL GROW. My other self is now working on the Aq' cabinet and on automated water change system that should help in maintenance. ![]() ![]() As one can see there is more plenty of work and I try to do my best here. --------------------------------------------------- Continuation --------------------------------------------------- 1. I completed the cabinet plans and even deliver them to an angel pro-carpenter. 2. I completed the solution for filling and emptying water. 3. I ordered new LED fixture for the rear light that will be on the wall in order to create 'Light Table' effect at the back of the aquarium. 4. I completed the plants list and gave the order to the one plants shop that I truly trust. Echinodorus Tenellus (lower part). Cryptocoryne Parva (lower part). Lilaeopsis Novae-Zelandiae (lower part). Micranthemum Micranthemoides (lower part). Crinum Calamistratum (pillars). Anubias Barteri Var. Nana ('Pendulum Ball' & Petchii "Chair"). 5. I completed the fish list based on the concept that will be called; 'Orange to Red and Vice Versa'. Orange > Xiphophorus Hellerii / Swordtail / Red. Red > Poecilia reticulata / Guppy / Rosa gold. 6. Now in Progress - Ventilation solution combined with a temperature controller. 7. Now in Progress - New U R B A N AQUASCAPING elements that will be build again but now from glass. 8. Enclosed Visuals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 9. Here in Israel the project known as "PREGNANCY OF AN ELEPHANT" I work on that project only at my free time and as I write now it is about 14 months of pregnancy. The delivery (of a baby) is planed to be within six weeks from now (I.G.W) in full 'Caesarean section'. --------------------------------------------------- Continuation --------------------------------------------------- ![]() Electricity accessories. ![]() Water changing accessories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Assembling new U R B A N AQUASCAPING from glass. ![]() ![]() ![]() My 2.5 years old sun came to help cut the glass. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The new terrace Integrated with the swimming pool. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Little connection to the 'intimacy bowl'. ![]() The new 'intimacy bowl' will be part of the terrace. ![]() ![]() Testing the terrace. ![]() ![]() The new Crinum Calamistratum pillars. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The New Hydor Ario 4 House - Prototype 01 The house will be tested in the aquarium in order to check the bubble behavior and if the test will be successful, the house will be coated with black quartz. ![]() ![]() The New Hydor Ario 4 House - Prototype 02 The house will be tested in the aquarium in order to check the bubble behavior and if the test will be successful, the house will be coated with black quartz. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The new 'Pendulum Ball' ready for Anubias barterii petite, hydroponic planting. ![]() ![]() The new Cryptocoryne Petchii "Chair" ready for hydroponic planting as well for moss. ![]() ![]() Stringy moss medallions that will be coated and place in the surface. ![]() ![]() Elodea Egeria Densa/Ceratophyllim Demersum 'Paratroopers', Weight accessories ready fast growing plants for the cycle. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Yap. ![]() After the photo set with my little sun.

I will be honest: I have no idea what half of those pictures are for, let alone what you are asking. Clarification please?

![]() My deep appreciation and thank you very much for all the feedbacks. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ladies & Gentlemans, Dear members & friends, Respected guests, After 18 month of preparations in which I had to lower my expectations to minimum and make huge efforts expend my limits boundaries a new aquarium was born. Please allow me to share with you the results of the initial set-up that includes general system check up and very humble presentation of new LED light fixture for planted aquarium. ![]() Thank U for all the people that gave feedbacks and my deep apology if I missed someone. ![]() The envelope that I received. ![]() The words that was written. ![]() The first side. ![]() The second side of the drawing that my little daughter made for me. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QuickTime history -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ![]() Attaching the background. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cabinet. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() U R B A N BACK LIGHT is LED Light. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() General set-up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My friend that came to help with the initial set-up. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Celebrates with home made cherry beer. ![]() ![]() ![]() Water. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bubble show. ![]() ![]() ![]() General look. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Life. ![]() ![]() One Betta named Adodo. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cover. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Light effects only with U R B A N BACK LIGHT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LED Light for planted aquarium U R B A N NATURAL GROW My friend and I worked in the past six months on that project, It was important for us to create LED light fixture that is equivalent to a pair of 54 watt T5 high quality fluorescents. We took into consideration the light[censored]wavelength combination that will help create photosynthesis. Optical components were integrated in order to produce maximum light[censored]scattering in the water from top and all the way down to the substrate. A lot of thought were given to the practical aspects so we designed 3 operational modes; Mode 1- Main light Main light includes 3 illuminations levels; Low, Medium and High that will allow maximum flexibility while one monitor the plants growth.[censored] Illuminations levels also enable to easily create the course of sunrise-Midday-sunset light as a reflection of natural behavior of sun light in our planet. Mode 2 - View View mode can be very useful for general inspection and maintenance at any time of the day or the night, on top of that the View mode will illuminate the aquarium in nice and bright light and that can be also very helpful when guests[censored]arrive to visit while the main light is off. Mode 3 - Moonlight Moonlight is integrated in the fixture. General information The[censored]LED light[censored]pushes at least 2,500 clean luminous and power consumption is up to 45 watt, we also install digital controller and the fixture is water proof Length 122 cm, Width 4 cm, Height 2 cm. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() General view of the LED fixture that is design for planted aquarium. ![]() ![]() ![]() Light check. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moonlight. ![]() ![]() ![]() General view, the bowl is inside in order to measure the light. Thank You all very much. Full set-up within 2-3 weeks. |

I'll be honest, I have no clue as to what I am looking at in these pictures. Not to be mean, but half of those pictures were absolutely pointless, and although your LED lighting looks good, I'm iffy about the project as a whole.
Hopefully it makes sense/looks better once the plants have time to develop a bit?

Only thing I didn't get was putting tall plants, ones that would easily grow to the top of your water from the substrate, on pedastals that are so tall? They are touching the top of the water after a week or two of growth....unless that was the point. But like I said, could probably have been done from the substrate. Guess I'm not a big fan of the tall skinny pedastals and look at them and think, what did you do that for?. I love the different levels though.

In dont know.... I think I really like the way this looks. Completely different from the tons of aquariums you see everywhere, very unique. I sat and looked at the pics over and over and I think I like it more and more as I look, good work!

Hi everyone,
Thank u very much for all the comments. We can't define beauty nor happiness etc. etc. we experience many things only via our inner subjective filters, therefore the best thing is to enjoy the juorny just like when hiking, scenery is a live tissue and changing constantly as well as AQUASCAPING, most plants will naturally grow and influence the general reflections. U R B A N AQUASCAPING is about harmony between Hardware and Software. Hardware = Aquarium/Cabinet (1) + Soil/Stone/Wood (2). Software = Water/Plants/Fish (3). We aspire to experience that triangle as it is and always was one life tissue. Hardware is done and now there is work on the software, now it's the time to allow the system establish the cycle and then polished the plants set-up as well as the rainbow species of fishes. |

It's good to see something unique for a change. Although they are nice, it gets boring seeing the typical "ADA" style aquariums. The main thing is that you enjoy it and have fun in the process. It's a hobby, not a job.
