I dont think plants would grow in that type of lighting The rocks look like Blue Stone. (it is often used in landscaping or used to build strong retaining walls) some times they are called "pitchers" The lighting is some type of blue light also guessing.

The look real to me, unless they've started putting brown marks and inperfections on fake plants . I'm guessing actinic lighting, but everything I've read about it is that SW people use it for growing algae.... For the design, I agree...it's a nice one! ^_^ [hr width='40%']"I'm alright, I'm alright It only hurts when I breathe"
