New Vivarium for MINI MINI Orchids
 
1 Attachment(s)
Alright.. so lately I have been playing around with with Hygrolon and finding more mini miniatures..


So, I decided to make another Vivarium.. this is my 3rd build ever.... and this will be for intermidiate to hot species..


I used some wood I had laying around as well as some driftwood collected by another member here form, me .. Thank you Tom!!!!


now since I'm broke and don't have any orchids that are ready to divide this tank is empty for now.. except for a Pleurothallis grobyi.. well a tiny little division that I had .. you can see it on the left hand side..

this is a 20 gallon fish tank i got for 5 Bucks.. I have a false bottom, a Computer fan, and a pump all in there all HIDDEN!!!! .. dun dun dun!!!


I have a couple of tiny tiny little ferns and some Hemeinthus Hemianthus callitrichoides there, maybe it will take off maybe it will die. no clue yet...

Now.. to get miniatures in there lol!! thats going to be a challenge.. .. since I'm still broke..

oh yeah.. the pump is there to move water up to the top of the hygrolon, also it wicks water up from the bottom as well ... ..


I will mostlikely install a misting head in there too too,, we will see how it goes..

Good luck! I can't wait to see it when it is filled.
Orchids are certainly addicting, aren't they? :)
