Default Update for 80 gallon vivarium
WOW, so we did some tank rearranging over the weeknd as well as an upgrade . We added a Fluval 250 canister filter...works great! The water is crystal clear so very cool.

The grapevine was not doing well being submerged so we cut the wet parts off and hung them from the background (which is really great since I hated the background anyway!!). I am so pleased with the way this is coming along! The really cool part is that I can spot several places for new plants...

Here are some pictures of what we worked on...thanx for looking!

Most excellent. Can't wait to see the final edition.

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.)
