U R B A N AQUASCAPING - 300L Planted LowTech
- Thread starter globali
- Start date
Thank U ahrealmonsters,
It took me 18 months to deliver the "baby" and here in Israel
the project is a.k.a "PREGNANCY OF AN ELEPHANT" ,between
wife & life, trying to make a living, children & babies I had
to learn the 'Planting Aquarium Field' from scratch & zero.
Diving into that deep black box often make my head about to
explode and force me to retreat to relaxation zone in order
to gather more energy and continue with the inner journey.
That was very very hard for me, as we all know there is a
lot of direct and basic data to understand and that is apart
of U R B A N AQUASCAPING and the LED Light Fixture which
I have decided to develop and cope with all the challenges.
Those were 18 months in which I had to lower my expectations
to minimum and make huge efforts expend my limits boundaries,
for me aquarium represent a therapy, huge present and the best
thing is to enjoy the journey just like when hiking in green fields.
The scenery a.k.a U R B A N AQUASCAPING is alive and the view
will change constantly as plants hopefully will continue to grow,
actually now days an interesting transformation is taking place
some new plants has arrived and a new plant scene will apply.

interesting design, not for me, but very intersting. I would point out your presentation style is so confusing I have no idea wtf is going on till I see the whole tank together.
nice idea. even a little far fetched. all of us like to get a natural environment for the fish and here u r going in the opposite direction. bold idea
Thank U yoganathan_kn,
I can understand when one say that the result is not
natural but looking at all the green plants here I do
feel and hope as well that one can sense nature.
Nature interwoven with urban landscape.
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.
The way to translate that idea was by using back light
as background and not any other or different kind of
opaque background, inside one can see black quartz
"grow" from the black quartz substrate as they were
one, dark and coarse gray basalt substrate "climbed"
on the black fine black quartz, as well one can see
black quartz "climbed" on natural mangroves etc.
The scenery interwoven with geometric structures and
needs to achieve and reflects contradictory, I do hope
that one can see the dynamic journey in the aq' water.
At first I design the Ario 4 'House', and as time passed
by more and more elements emerge, it took few good
months to coat the driftwood and that moment became
for me the turning point in that interesting journey.
Once one design a certain concept by creating a visual
language and just like at Visual Communication it is
much better to take the road all the way, therefore the
driftwood had to be an integrated part of the whole view.
By doing so I knew I had to "kill" him for what he is and
the character that he represent BUT from his "death" one
may see IMHO the "birth" of new life that were called
and were defined by the term U R B A N AQUASCAPING.
