Thanks everyone!
This is a 20 gallon long tank turned vertical. The construction journal for one that is very similiar can be found here:
http://www.vivariumforum.com/communi...hread.php?t=68

I've seen people convert 70 gallon tanks into vertical tanks. So a 30 gallon is not too big.
I went for the 20 gallon long becuase it is wider than the 20 gallon tall.

Now for that species list, off the top of my head:

Macodes petiola (3)
Ludisia discolor (2) 1 in bud/spike
Phalaenopsis 'Mini Mark' Holm (1) In spike with three buds
Phalaenopsis javanica (1) Its a seedling
Slc. Barefoot Mailman "Liana" (1)
Slc. Mini Beau (1) in bud/spike!!
Sophronitis cernua (1)
Angraecum scottianum (1)
Masdevallia rolfiana (2) Actually just two divisions of 1 plant
Masdevallia tovarensis (1)
Masdevallia floribunda (3) Divisions from the same plant
Masdevallia barlaeana (2) Divisions again
Haraella odorata (2)
Bulbophyllum dearei (1)
Kefferstenia tolimensis (1)
Encyclia polybulbon (1) This one is not doing so well.
Encyclia bractescens (1)
Cischwenfia dasyandra (1) a small kieki from mother plant
and thats all folks. Holy cr*p!! Thats 26!!! I had no idea
I am thinking of putting on a stronger light now that the increas in plants is blocking out more light to the ones in the bottom. I just hope stronger lights don't increase temps too much.
Right now the temps hover between 60 and 78

Did you get that Enc. polybulbon from me? I only ask because I have it in three tanks, and one looks like hell and the others are fine. I have no idea why... They are all keikis from the same plant.

I don't add CO2, only CO2 producers (frogs)
Rob,
yea I got it from you. Unfortunately I found it today completely brown. I think I just killed my second orchid ever.
It never did look to happy in the viv.
I was keeping it in a rather dark corner and it wasn't happy. THen I moved it to the top of the viv and added some osmunda around the roots to keep it from drying out too much. Nows it basically 90% dead.

The second is just a regular vivarium as it is not exclusively orchids. I have Platystele stenostycha and Ludisia discolor, and one Haraella odorata. Otherwise I have some Dischidias, and related vines, Bromeliads and Tillandsias. And a Strawberry Poison Dart frog.
