What a great looking Viv!

It's good to see that you got your priorities straight.........orchids with darts!

Thanks for the compliments guys.
Its amazing how a good photographer can make something look good. The small grass-like plants, unfortunatley are fake. Its hard to find small ground cover at nurseries as I'm sure you noticed. So, rather than do without.
Oscarman,I think your right with the priorities thing.
I'm trying to find some mini variety that will do well in high humidity and fairly high light. I could limit the amount of water directly to the root ball, I want to mount it on the back wall and up near the top.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Jon

This is what I want to do with my 3ft tank- turn it into a awesome vertical viv with healthy blooming orchids as the main feature.

Can you tell me, does your tank have drainage? How often and how do you water?

Thanks
Damian.
