Is this one an upturned fish tank? I didn't mean that orchidariums made of fish tanks are not naturalistic. I meant that the orchidrarium on the second page has very nice shape as against orchidrariums made of fish tanks.

Oh don't worry, I never thought you ment that. I just wanted to show that you can make a naturalistic setup out of anything. Yes it is an upturned fish tank

Magnus,
Thank you so much for your help! I just love how professional and clean looking your orchidarium looks. I hope mine looks this great! My biggest concern is that is looks great as a feature in my home so guests can enjoy it just as much as I! Simply lovely and your young plants seem to really enjoy the pampering!

Time for a Update!
This is how my orchidarium looks today. Unfortunate it is an mix of warm and intermidiate growing orchids in it and even a few cold growing that does not like it! 
Plans for a second one is evolving

Great display. I really need to do something about getting more 'chids into the display. Like the racks you've set in there.

If I have!
In my experience the roots penetrate a epiweb slab within a couple of weeks! They just love to dig deep down in this material! I can post some pictures tonight (Europeen time) and tell about my experience of epiweb in a new thread!
