Reply With Quotenice setup. sorry , i cant find them in the picture, where is the bucephalandra?

It all started out with trying to grow HC emersed and I kinda got carried away, with the added poison from my friend of course hahah. Just sharing my emersed setup with diy led lighting.

Plants list:
1. Hemianthus callitrichoides
2. Drosera spatulata
3. Dendrobium gregulus
4. Cadetia sp.

9. Star moss
10. Flame moss

Awesome!!!
like to see the DIY light,any close up pics?
The bucep is really tiny. It was submerged for very long and all leaves are in submerged form now. kinda worried it would just die hahaOriginally Posted by TS168

Just a simple 3W led mounted to heatsink and acrylic stand, the base of the acrylic stand is slotted underneath the tank. Heres a closer pic.

Hydrocotyle flower is really tiny! And it looks pretty cool too.

Drendobium gregulus flower!

The led is mounted to the heatsink using heatsink compound and the heatsink is mounted to the acrylic stand using mounting tape. I did this so that i can reuse the module for a different setup if i changed the layout in future.

Oh the leg is not mounted to the tank. I raised the tank slightly using stick on rubber pads just enough to slot the acrylic stand underneath. here is a pic showing the full acrylic stand.

very nice, word of advice for orchids, do not mist them as frequently as the aquatic plants. maybe once a week or so. check the roots, if they are green means they have enough water, it is better to under water than over water orchids

I built it with sheet acrylic. Just a simple cut, heat form and drilled holes haha. Didnt finish it properly though, raw cut edges.

Gorgeous! I really like how you DIY the light stand. Very simple yet looks very "class". And all three at different heights gives an overall modernistic look. Great job! Gonna camp here.
Do you have the heating equipment for bending acrylic at home or did you go to some workshop and did it there?
Nice Setup with artistic outcome
What is the arrangement to keep plants moist?
I would love to have those heating equipment haha but unfortunately i dont, so i only used a hand held blowtorch.

The setup is water-logged, the substrate is pretty much drowned in water lol. As for the moss on the wood, I built a water drip system using airpump and some connectors and tubes.Nice Setup with artistic outcome

Heres a closer pic of the water drip system powered by an airpump.

Added another 3W led module to increase the lighting for the orchids.
