Default My mini vivarium

So this is a little fun project of mine. Its a 9x12x10 tank that I wanted to fill with all miniature species, mainly orchids. So far its doing fine, although 3 months in and its still looking a little empty.

So here we go with some progress pics:

The progress is easiest to see with the growth in individual species:

12/14

Taking update photos of a mainly orchid tank is like watching paint dry.

Anyway, from where I left off:

The stuff planted on the floor in the front of the tank is dying out, i think this is because Im keeping them too moist, and not draining the water quickly enough.
