That looks pretty awesome Tindomul!
What lighting are you using with that? I'm been in the planning stages for a 40 breeder vertical for quite some time but I haven't gotten around to doing anything with it yet.
Is everything blooming for you? The roots sure do look happy. I love how you have your H ordata. It looks very good there.

The glass at the top front of the tank (not the roof) was drilled so I could connect misters and a mist king system, but no money means I do it all by hand. So I mist it every morning before work, especially the two Bulbo hybrids pictured, that are situated at the top. They even need lots of sphag to keep moist. The lights are pretty hot and dry everything out without the need for a fan. The fan I attached is not used much at all, unless I water at night.
Otherwise, I just sit and watch and feed the animals.

Hi, I am using two 65w power compact bulbs, straight pin setup, the type made for reef tanks. Not everything is blooming. I really want my Cryptocorynes to bloom, but they are stubborn. I had Anthurium gracile bloom in there, Phalaenopsis parishii, and P. deliciosa, P. gibbosa tried but failed. Spathicarpa bloomed, and thats it so far. Not bad actually.
