[QUOTE=WaterWitchin;922616]Careful on that one CObirddog... some of them, especially a bow front, tend to use hardened or tempered glass. You'd be better off with a false bottom. You can put a piece...

The mistking has been seamless. I got the starter from Glass Box’s Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale and it was completely worth it. I do still have to water a few things in pots weekly, but 85% of the...

I’m sure that’s useful to someone! I had that same question when I was planning the tank, and ultimately decided a misting system would be best if I wanted to have a lot of mounts and leave the tank...

Thanks! The bow front style looks great in a more formal living space. I wanted it integrated into my sitting room so that I could enjoy it every day. And the light is especially nice to sit by in...

Thanks for the note! The tank has been built and I did use a plexiglass lid to maintain humidity plus mounted the waterproof HLG Saber inside. The misters spray some moisture on it. I anticipate I’ll...

Nice feedback! If you go for more, it was simple to wire it up and I bought the $30 90-watt power supply kindly recommended by HLG on their site. I found it on Amazon; no need to use one of their...

HLG’s lights seem like the best LEDs on the market. Ive actually been thinking about adding a 65 for my oncidiums in a separate grow area... glad to hear it’s working well for you!

It’s been running since 12/27 and hasn’t burned anything yet. I ramped it up gradually for the first 5 days and have been running at 12 hrs/day since. Most of the plants I have in the tank prefer...

Good to know! So far I haven’t gotten a good equilibrium with humidity and that might help. Also, a fan on a hygrometer sensor.

I figured that a water feature might come with v2 of the tank, once...
