Default orchid vivarium/terrarium-misting?

Hi, I'm Jodi, just started here yesterday? anywho...

I've been compiling a list for my terrarium, that will be made into a vivarium in about a year (I made a goal for dart frogs-the expensive ones too )

but the biggest thing I see myself wanting is a misting system... DIY plans would be greatly appreciated. and a supply place for them in the US (I can find them from the UK JUST FINE!! heh)

so, my list of orchids, that will take place in a year... my terrarium is a hex, somewhere in the 30 gallon range. Its 28" tall, and I don't want pots: everything will be mounted, or planted... with bromeliads. (I really like Andy's orchids-such nice pictures )

Haraella odorata,
Bulbophyllum laxifloruim
Ascicentrum aurantiacum
Malaxis species (NG)
Pleurothallis allenii -I don't know bout this one, I want a mini tank
P. tribuloides
Dendrobium aberrans

I'm pretty sure they will all go ok in the same environ. I also have a poor NOID that will be going in there too. the poor lil devil! its not a mini though... at least, I don't think it is...

any other suggestions? this will be taking a long time to make. I think in two weeks (payday) I'll be getting the bottom and sides made. Then will be steps, then a huge driftwood, then plants... so in two months I might be starting to order from the list.

oh, and does anyone know anyplace that I can get an id on a really old bromeliad?
