    some more....sorry pictures were taken on my lousy web cam.. will post some more proper pictures if needed

    this is a fully automated system... no need misting by hand

    yes that is an osim U-mist....the plants have a much better life then me

    just a normal U-mist with a tube into the tank..

    misting time is 4 times a day for 15 minutes each..

    still waiting for some of the plants to grow in properly and also hopefull could get my hand on some nice plants to grow on the drift wood in the center...maybe some wild orchids.....thanks...

    Chiaki23, thank you for sharing. Your vivarium is very nice, indeed.

    However, we will appreciate if you do not post in sms language. Your posts need to be editted heavily to better facilitate reading. As a guideline, 'tat', 'mi', 'wif' etc are not the proper spellings of words and 'u' is a letter, not a word. Also please avoid mis-spelling words purposely, such as 'goin', 'doin'... Thank you.

    Let me answer for my bro, all in all he took 2 weeks to get the stuff needed and 3-4 days to do up the vivarium.

    actually any COOL mist mister will do...but i use umist because the outlet is easier to connect to a tube.but its not as good as a sprinkle system...saw one at petmart but it cause 400 plus...am now think of importing on from oversea..maybe a mistking system...
