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,

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. |

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.
