Trash picking project
![Waving](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/thumb_wave.gif) all, Was heading out to work and found this Tank in the trash. So like all committed trash pickers I brought it home. It measures 48"Lx12"Wx20"H. I'm hoping to turn it in to a Japanese inspired garden with water fall. Featuring my AWESOME little neo. that is in full bloom and another spike forming. More neo's in my future!!! I built the frame out of appearance grade pressure treated 1x4's. I will take pictures all the way. Not very artsy so it will be a challenge

Great find Dave, will work perfectly for an orchid grower. By the way, nice looking driftwood looks like an oncidium.

Hi, great find. Oh what I would like to do with one of those. Anyway, how are you keeping your neo now? Looks pretty happy. If its not in a tank already, why put it in one?
