Nice collection and looks like your busting at the seams. It's amazing how that happens, just one more...

 Nice. I'd hate to see the electric bill, though

Looks great! I love the look and feel of so many orchids together in one place!
Excellent use of the exoterra enclosure. WHat have you got inside it?

Tin, inside that case I most have my aerangis and comparettia species and just got a dracula that should do well in there. And as for the electric bill Ross, its only 2 - 400w HPS and some 2ft fluorescents so its not really that bad

I was using one 400 watt HPS and it did a number on my E bill. For me I have had good luck with high power CF bulbs. I am using 2 55 watt plus a 37 watt and plan to make a new setup with additional bulbs. Since I am now using only 147 watts, it is a big savings. Just food for thought.
Do you use the HD florescents? If so, how do they perform for you?

Nice setup! Everything looks healthy and happy. I have three HID lights and hubby says it doesn't make too much difference on the hydro bill. Whew!

Thanks everyone. I think Tin has given me enough info in his viv posting that that is gonna be my next project. None of the orchids in that exoterra unit are permanently attached to the background; they're still on the mounts that they came with. So here goes nothing.
