I use it for redfish, so the cost is minimal for me! ![Big Grin](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/biggrin2.gif)

My phal is upside down Sade, because it's under timed misters that go off several times a day. It's to avoid crown rot, and I was just too lazy to get it hung "just so" to avoid water in the crown. ![ROFL](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/rofl3.gif)
