Default Mini Vivarium

So I've had this tiny tank around for about 10 years, set it up at one point as a seahorse tank and then it was a mini saltwater reef. I think the tank is 10 gallons. The light fixture is equiped with two 18 watt compact flourescents (The bulbs are going to be upgraded .) There is a 4" CPU fan blowing air downward in the left front corner. The bark at the bottom is non-heat treated fine fir bark. The chicken wire is..well...chicken wire . All of the moss used was either frog moss that I bought a lps or some I purchased on ebay a while back in anticipation of this project. The plants are:

Phal. Lovely Kid
Den. leonis
Masd. regina 'Parkside'
Ceratostylis senelis
Barbosella cogniauxiana
Trisetella hoeijeri
Trias picta
Trias nasuta
Masd. amaluzae
Restrepia antennifera
Lepanthopsis astrophora

We put our little rain forest on the kitchen counter for now. Sorry the end result photos aren't that great...I'll post some better ones later. Enjoy!
