To be honest, it's not my thing. I am a big plant and nature lover and this just doesn't look natural, I was hoping for a bewilderd city look. This looks, well empty and not natural. Plants don't look really happy aswell, most of the stems aren't as lush as they could be.
I do see and appreciate the effort you've put into this. So as long as you like it everyone's happy

Hi Hallen,
The plants grow slowly but here
from close view they looks fine.
Anyway, Thank U for comment.

It's interesting and different.
A bit like topiary somewhat.

Thank U very much Tom Barr.
There is still a lot of work here
on the project in terms of the
planting development and I do
hope to answer the challenge.

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.

Hi EveryOne, My first underwater film.
The set was made to prevent reflections.
The camera.
Waterproof Bag Case.
The experience was fun and I will try to do more underwater film.
