What water features do you have in it? Are you pumping any water say for a waterfall, or using a misting system perhaps?

What are the plants you chose to mount in there?

thanks for the kind words!

as for water features there is one installed, and one planned, but on hold till i make payment. i have a pump in there behind the false back which is hooked up to a few drip irrigation tubes to make a little "waterfall". the water simply drips off a large piece of ADA blackwood, and then falls about 8" to another piece of the same wood, which then feeds the water into the pool of water visible in the front of the tank in the setup photos. im also planning on adding a mistking system in the very near futre to do automated watering, and keep my glass cleaner.

also, there is a small waterpump behind the false back to keep the water circulating, and a small heater. all accessible because of the false back for maintenance.

as for what kinds of orchids?? i know this is an orchidboard, so as opposed to trying to remember the names and misspelling them, ill wait till i get home and just read them off the tags.

thanks again for the looks, and ill do my best to keep this current with updates.
