    Stingri moss tree


    Glass tubes of 3 mm.




    Connection.




    Glue to a glass anchor.




    Done, but I wasn‪'‬t happy‪.‬




    So again‪,‬ hot glue gun.




    Simple pen‪.‬




    We need the tube‪.‬




    Glass cube‪.‬




    Black corrugated plastic sheet with hole.




    Glue and coated with black quartz.












    Result.




    Apply Stingri moss to the base‪,‬ put in the aquarium
    and hopefully after 3‪-‬4 month we will have a tree.






    The tube head is ready and the work continue ...

    Treetop to the Stingri moss tree


    Little cork.




    Narrow mangrove.




    Cut in order get three pieces.




    Sharpen one side.








    Glue to the cork.




    Floating Checkup, the plan is to add to that
    Flame Moss or Weeping Moss or Willow Moss
    and together with the tube a tree will appear.

    U R B A N LED NATURAL GROW
    advantages of the self-made fixture

    The wavelength scale that is used prevents
    algae and 4 month after the initial setup the
    aquarium is clean apart of glass "dust" that
    appears and needs to be clean apx. every
    one month with a basic floating magnet.

    All plants respond well to the LED light apart
    of the Pellia ‪(Monosolenium‬ tenerum) that did
    not show any growth, it is important to remember
    here that the aquarium is just planted Low-Tech
    without pressurized CO2 or any other liquid
    substitutions for CO2 and without yeast-based.

    Interesting new take on aqua-scaping. It'll be interesting to see what it'll look like when fully grown.

    We have quite warm weather here in Singapore too. I think many members will be interested to find out the technical details of your "Primitive Cooling System". I think more than a handful of us have toyed with the idea of using ice. I think a few have even used plastic bottles of ice to cool the tanks, but I have not seen anyone post any elaborate set ups.

    How long does your PCS maintain the water temperature?

    Hi Bro Globali, very very detailed and informative setup journal! A very unique way of scaping, sort of a modern zen scape if I can put it that way.

    And like bro Vinz, I'm also very interested in the Primitive Cooling System as well as the LED lights.

    Very unique perspective to aquascaping! Fantastic efforts in creating and documenting the entire setup. Well done!
    I am especially curious to your lighting research. They look very nice in the pictures. Would you care to elaborate more on that?

    Thank U very much, vinz, dkk08, p0rky, benlauhh, sqwerc, barmby.



    How long does your PCS maintain the water temperature?
    I'm also very interested in the Primitive Cooling System …
    Hi vinz & dkk08

    As for the PCS = Primitive Cooling System,

    It is primitive and very effective but only if one is near
    the aquarium for most of the*day, time tells us that it
    take about one hour to lower 1 degree Celsius (°C).

    Now, it's not the PSC that can maintain the cool water
    temperature, the temperature will rise again depends
    on the temperature out side the aquarium (the room)
    and that can take from 1-3 hours.

    As for frozen plastic bottles inside the aquarium,
    personally I did not and prefer not to apply that,
    here in Israel many people use commuter fans in
    order to maintain the water temperature but the
    disadvantage are huge evaporation that can rich
    up to 300 liter per one month and fast fans rust.






    … as well as the LED lights
    I am especially curious to your lighting research ...
    Hi dkk08 & benlauhh,

    As for the LED Light Fixture
    a.k.a U R B A N LED NATURAL GROW

    One can tell that it is nearly like preparing spaghetti
    sauce, proper balance of the ingredients will create
    good and successful spaghetti sauce, in lighting for
    planted aquarium 3 major players are involved;

    1. Wavelength - their audience are the plants.
    2. Luminous - their audience are the plants & users.
    3. Kelvin (temperature) - their audience are the users.

    Once one mix those 3 (each one in the right dosage),
    put the mixture in the casserole and light the "fire"
    (electrical circuit) there is no turning back and one
    must dive and see the results directly on the plants.

    The T5 language is no longer relevant when using
    LED Light, T5 told us to use 0.5-1 watt per litter but
    T5 use full spectrum therefore users get algae.

    By using LED Light one can use narrow spectrum
    and avoid algae and from my experience the new
    language is Luminous/Liter ratio (subject to 1&3).

    At U R B A N AQUASCAPING from day one the
    current Luminous/Liter ratio is 11‪.‬4 and I can say
    that IMHO a ratio of 11‪.‬4-13.7 can be satisfactory
    for Low-Tech planted aquarium, that logic may lead
    to 22.8-27.4 (Luminous/Liter ratio) for High-Tech
    planted aquarium (subject to 1&3) but I don't have
    yet any experience with such a high ratio at all.

    Very zen setup! I guess you must put in a lot of efforts setting up all this. Nice!!

    Re: U R B A N AQUASCAPING | 300L | Full set-up | LED Light for planted aquarium

    ‏Hi everyone,

    ‏A lot is going on here and the main issue is that I have decided
    ‏to build a new U R B A N LED NATURAL GROW (Prototype 02).

    ‏Just like the first one the new LED Light Fixture is also design
    ‏specially for planted aquarium and it is not an easy task.

    ‏The new LED Light Fixture will have different wavelength scale
    ‏that suppose 2B better for photosynthesis and as well will push
    ‏at least 3,000 clean luminous, I hope my friend will be able to
    ‏finish the building of the fixture within 60 days (both of us here
    ‏working+families and are trying to find spare time for the project).

    ‏On the same road of building 'prototype 02' we also have a huge
    ‏challenge in upgrading the hardware/software of the new LED fixture.

    ‏The plan is to run 'prototype 02' with 3,000 clean luminous for one
    ‏month and then add the old fixture that push 2,500 clean luminous
    ‏so in total the system will have 5,500 clean luminous aproximently.

    ‏Therefore I have decided to wait until 'prototype 02' will be ready and
    ‏then upload a comprehensive update (same go to the israeli forum,
    ‏update is uploaded at about 10 different forums simultaneously).

    ‏Please allow me to share few visuals that reflects the current situation.



    U R B A N AQUASCAPING - we are 9 months from the initial setup.

    I would say that's alot of hardwork. Extremely impressive.
