Yeah maybe ebay.... I found this one at an aquarium shop. I just asked them if they had any used tanks and they showed me what they had for sale. Classifieds are always good places to check....craigslist and whatnot.
Good luck, -Andy |
Thanks for the ideas. I will ask if they have any used ones. YAY!! Summer project, here I come!!!!!

just a little bit of an update
I got around to getting the new lights. I got a coralife fixture that is 2 x 96 watt 6700k bulbs. I cut the mounting legs after I took this picture so the tank is an inch or two lower now.

Looks good. You have tons of light, I would see about growing some miniature cattleya.
|
I'm not familiar to those but would like to get into more miniature orchids. Do you recommend a particular species or place to get them?
I'm in the process of building a big plant rack type thing that will be for orchids and tropical plants and I would love to start getting into the more rare miniatures that would do well in a viv. |
Yes, any Catt types that are named Slc. or even some really small Blc.
Slc. Mini Beau is really good. I've been able to bloom it under the same lights. |
Some of those look really cool. I only own 3 orchids right now so I just don't know what to get next.
Do you know of any tiny orchids that have bundles of small leaves that require constant moisture and decent light? I've got a lot of orchid studying to do:). I saw a pic of something like that a while back somewhere and I think the guy had it very near a waterfall. It seemed to make more of a ground cover appearance than bulbs.... I would like to put something miniature like that on the side of the waterfall. But I'm having a hard time finding a place to start.....looking into miniatures now. |
Update 10/02
Here are some recent photos of the tank. Everything is growing pretty well. Some of the plants suffered a little while on vacation but most are doing great.

Its leaves get burnt by the bright light but I'm having lots of good growth. http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...viv1002007.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...viv1002009.jpg http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...viv1002011.jpg |
I love the moss covering everything... You've done really well to get a nice natural feel. What is the temperature range you're maintaining in there?
|
Its true, how did you get so much moss so quickly? It looks like it grew there rather than being placed there.
