This is my display.(if the photo loaded) Its made out of reclaimed white oak.the base 48"x31"x36". It has fiberglass basin on the inside about 3 inches deep, so I can water in place. I also have ultrasonic fogggers in the basin to provide humidity. Most plants are in semi-hydro. Lighting is a 400 watt metal halide.
I want to add a wall along the back to mount mostly phals to. I was originally thinking two pieces of chicken wire with sphagnum moss sandwiched between them. but a post on green or living walls and Rays suggestion of ecoweb has me leaning that way. either way i will likely use a pump to auto water it. the excess will run down into the reservoir. any input on the wall is greatly appreciated! thanks for looking.http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/...orchids022.jpg

That is a very nice set up and display.
Is it enclosed?

That looks great and is sure holds a lot of plants.

Wow! That is well made.

nice!

thanks everyone. now i just need some bloomers in there!

Love it! I like your idea of chicken wire and moss. And what is your floor made of? Is your resevoir beneath it?

Ann

yes the resevoir is directly beneath the table surface. which is flourecent light louvres. I bought a piece of fleece from walmart, strethced it across the table and stapled the edges. then i put some wieght on the fleece to make a tub shape. Then i poured fiberglass resin onto the fleece. when it cures its waterproof.

Thanks for sharing! this ir very nice set up! I like the idea of chickenwire too.
