    LED Light for planted aquarium
    U R B A N LED 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 wavelength
    combination that will help create photosynthesis.
    Optical components were integrated in order to
    produce maximum light 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.
    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 arrive to visit while the main light is off.

    Mode 3 - Moonlight
    Moonlight is integrated in the fixture.

    General information
    The LED light 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.

    The teacher came to help with the full set-up,
    he helped a lot at the final stage of the project
    and I would like to share my deep appreciation
    and gratitude for the knowledge he share.

    The lower substrate contain:
    40% Peat PH4.8
    30% Vermakolight 2/3 mm
    10% Humus






    At first we apply thin layer of 20% pumice.










    The lower substrate go to the net pillows.






    The net pillows in the water above the pumice.






    ‏Anubias petite go to the ‪'‬Pendulum Ball‪'.‬






    Cryptocoryne aponogetifolia go to the 'Crinum Pillars'.




    Microsorium SP & M‪icrosorium narrow lea‬f go to the Cryptocoryne petchii "Chair".










    After 18 months of preparations U R B A N AQUASCAPING is finally in the water,
    14 species of plants are part of the set-up and that is important to the initial cycle as
    well for monitor the new LED Light for planted aquarium U R B A N LED NATURAL GROW.

    The little piece of mangrove were design for
    tying plants (in that case Java moss) but they
    also play an aesthetic role and contribute to the
    harmonic general view of U R B A N AQUASCAPING.

    U R B A N AQUASCAPING
    is about harmony between
    Hardware and Software.


    Hardware is done and now there is plenty of
    work on the Software (Flexibility is important).

    Water cooling with P.C.S*

    Here in Israel it's get hot in summer, the most common way
    to cool the aq' water is by installing fans in the "hood" but the
    disadvantage is huge evaporation that can rich up to 400 Liter
    per one month and aquarium fridge is too expensive for me.


    Curent situation: 27C.
    We need: 26C.
    Aquarium volume: 350 Liter.
    Aquarium volume Net: 220 Liter.




    Cooling body.




    Cooling core.




    Water fall down at 10C.




    Water fall down from 1 mm holes.








    The fusion show.




    Analoge thermometer.



    Color effects from the cooling core.



    The streams touch aquarium water at 20C.




    After one hour the result is 26c.






    How P‪.‬C‪.‬S* works

    Simple 2 liter Take Away box that is sitting on
    the center glass shelf, to that box I add frozen
    water from the home freezer and it's work.

    Dosing with P.D.S*



    ‏Two syringes of 60mL‪.‬




    ‏One black office folder‪.‬




    White plastic bag‪.‬




    Cut one syringe‪.‬




    Wrap the other syringe‪.‬




    ‏Glue the measurement scale‪ but with the ‬white plastic ‪ ‬
    as the first layer so that the measurement will be clear‪.‬



    ‏After assembling it became clear that the first syringe
    is unnecessary and uncomfortable so it much better to
    create the measurement scale on the syringe itself‪.‬




    Black hose.




    ‏Done and will be good for 12 dosing
    of 5m‪L each, that is about 6 weeks.‬




    System check just to be sure that aquarium water
    won‪'‬t dilute the clean fertilization that in the syringe‪.‬
