Default New display.
I am making a concrete based display that will be wall mounted. It will contain lighting, flowing water, and possibly misting. It'll prolly weigh in at just under 90 lbs. I am going to build it so it will support 1 mounted chid, and 2 that will be potted. I am thinking that a mirror behind the mounted one would look good and reflect a bit of light as well. There will be water flowing on the right and left sides of the mount providing some humidity as well. 2 plants will be planted below the water flow. Lights will be ran on a timer. I'm thinking of running the water pump 24/7 as this only draws minimal amperage.
Size will be about 2' x 3'.
Pics to follow soon.

Lower section pulled out of the mold this evening. Still needs polishing, a coat of sealer, and some wax.

I pulled the mid-section out of the mold tonight. Notice how much darker this is than the lower section. Once everything dehydrates/cures completley, Hopefully they'll match.

The hanging epoxy in the center, represents the mounted chid. There will be a mirror located behind it when finished.
