Well, first i want to thank everyone for thier responses. I hope they keep coming. Since i don't want to use pots for the orchids. My question is how can i layer it Would i put something on bottom of tank( like what), then the egg crate lite diffuser over it Then what Could i just put layers of sphag moss and put the orchids within it I also could use some cork type board for mounting some as well. I'm sorry for all the questions, and i know i will have alot of trial and error. But i would like to set it up to at least give the orchids a chance, before the trial and error begins. My apologies if my questions are getting on nerves.

What kind of orchidarium will you be useing (old fish tank, exo-terra, etc.). I made mine with an exo-terra 18" cube, and all the orchids are mounted on mopani wood or rocks. I started with terra lite on the bottom (hydroton, LECA) to hold some water for humidity. My advice to you is to not make anything perminent just in case you dont like it later on.
