Help needed before taking the decision of buying/building a terrarium/vivarium

Wow, you've really filled it up with orchids since the last pics I saw! It's a shame about the pond, it added a nice touch to the viv. But at least you have more room for orchids in there. Is that Aerangis rhodosticta I see blooming in there?
Btw, I'm insanely jealous of both the viv and the aquarium !

Yeap... this one: blooming since end of January 2009

Also Haraella retrocalla & Psygmorchis pusilla are blooming, and Trichopilia tortilis, Trichopilia marginata, Leptotes bicolor, Chiloschista viridiflava, Gastrochilus japonicus, Sedirea japonica, Meiracyllium trinasutum & Pleurothallis grobyi are either spiking or in buds

For now, always moving makes having a viv complicated. But as soon as I finish school and either get a job or a get a PhD position here, the very first thing I am buying is a great big viv! (and orchids to fill it of course. ) Only one more year to wait...

Where did you get the swampsticks by the way? I'd love to try one of those! I think my moisture looking Haraella odorata would like being mounted on one.

The nano-Aquarium is a perfect aquarium.. very small and you can even carry it (filled) with one hand (well, at least I can do it)

excellent for shrimps or Betta

USA but http://www.shop.schwerter-orchideenz...sort=2a&page=6 and http://www.roellke-orchideen.de/ have a similar product (which I also use)

I just tried to click your link to roelke orchideen, and my antivirus stopped the page load to tell me the website has a trojan. Are you getting the same problem? Or is this an April Fool's joke?
I'm thinking that my best friend can bring me swampsticks when she comes to visit this summer from chicago. It'll save on shipping!

that's weird...I have never had problems with their website.. I can even open it at work...
