Thank you. It's a little over a month, although a lot of the soil is from it's earlier and very primitive form, so it has a very good foothold of temperate and tropical springtails. I'm starting to culture isopods now so I have a few months until that. All plants have taken hold well, except for the orchid i recently added.

Your tank looks good as due the plants. Your orchid though might not do so well in such a humid environment. Check out jewel orchids.

Good luck- Justin

I agree, i'm worried about this. I'm hoping because it is towards the front it will stay cool, and get air flow. I planted it in just spagnum in a plastic pot. The rim is a little above the soil level but under the leaf litter spagnum level. I am not heavily misting that area so the roots can dry out before watering again. Just a little experiment. Thank you for the tip. I will definitely enjoy getting some more plants into my collection and I have had my eyes on jewel orchids for a while.
