WOW! Ross... That's awsome. Are those misters I saw in the picture? I would like to see some other views if possible. A whole new basement addition for orchids sounds too good to be true! I have had some problems keeping mounted orchids going, thats why I put up my moss mat. I soak it down about three times a week and so far everything is growing good. I will take some pictures of how I glue the trays together and post them probably tomorrow. You can make the trays any size but I have several shelving carts from Sams club that a four tube fixture and the 15" trays fit on.

Hi Vanessa, glad you could join our thread. I hope you jump in some more.

Yes they are misters from MistKing MistKing which are NOT limited to terrariums. You can use the nozzles any way you choose and the nice thing about it is the timer Marty sells is a interval timer. Mine is set to mist for 5-6 seconds 3 times during the "day setting" I choose. I vary the "day setting" more or less according to daylight at 45 degrees latitude. I opted for the best pump setup because I have plans to increase capacity in the future. Not much difference in cost. The mist is extremely fine and should not cause any noticeable wetness around your plants. I would discuss your specific needs with Marty, who hosts this board.
