Hi Tin,
No one down here uses this type of set up, personally I think they are brilliant. 
I think I will look into something like in the future

I hope I didn't miss the details in some other thread, but what size is the tank you used? And what type and size of lighting? I have a glass aquarium that is 12" widex17" highx 30" long. I'd like to set it up vertical like yours.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Tin, do you have step-by-step pics of your construction of this viv? I was thinking of having a custom one built by an aquarium shop but the price is a little steep. If I can accomplish the same thing with a 20 or 30 gallon aquarium or is that too big?

Great looking setup Tin. I can't wait to set up a viv and get some more frogs like I used to have.
