Just finished building an orchid house and after some finishing touches tomorrow I plan to post some photos. I think it deserves a separate thread.......it's taking me weeks to finish.
The growing areas MEGATHREAD!

Fantastic growing set ups Ramon! How big is the case with the tank? It's cool. Oh, wait a minute, now I see, it's a waterfall isn't it?

hey Thanks
The vivarium... it is 120x110x60 cm and indeed, there a waterfall... well actually two
now it looks a bit different, as I had to eliminate the central water tank. The whole bottom is now floded, and above it there is a grid platform where the orhcids stand... I will post a new picture of it soon...

As I previously mentionned here, this is the current status of the Orchidarium.
Once the Vivarium was perfectly running, I satarted havin some problems with water leaking to the side "tanks" (it was a problem with teh styropor pannel, which are not leakproof - I did not expect). This was causing too much work, as I had to drain the water every second day.. so, I decided to make some changes...
of course I needed to find a new house for the fish and shrimps that were living in the vivarium...

Sorry I started a new thread and should have posted here........
This has taken ages to build, well several weekends anyway. It feels like a long time. I need to build the door and then it's pretty much done. Trying to separate parts with different levels of shade is proving more difficult than I thought. A good reason to specialise in a particular genera!!!
It is 6 metres by 3 metres. The shade cloth is 70% sandstone and the roof is polycarbonate. If you have any questions then let me know.
Holes in the ground.......
Then we built the individual frames.....
Exciting I know, a pile of frames.......
The frames up:
With the roof on:
A different angle:
Putting up the shade cloth!
The shade ceiling finally up!
The shelves are built - hot dipped welded mesh.
Another angle of the shelves:
Shade cloth on the sides:
Plants in the house! Woohoo!!!!
We still need a door though.

But you had the chance on friday!!
After seeing Ramon's set-up, searching for fish tank to replace 75 gallon
tank I parted with before we started collecting plants. Parkfest we will
be able to diversify our collection. Greenhouse is not possible due to
size of lot, and prior landscape projects. Clark
(smile) if the prior landscape projects don't involve orchids and have priority, then we must assume you're not really an avid orchidist!
