Did you use the mister you bought in the end? I am thinking of setting up a similar tank also but its now just NATO (no action all talk). I am still hoping to find time to visit those irrigation shops to try to see if I can source for a cheap "half-pass-six" misting / spray head which can be driven by a small submersed pump.
I see some wires running up the tank, are those for air-pump, lights or fan?
My current set up is still in mineral bottles (plants are surviving, putting out new leaves slowly but not growing very fantastically from my point of view) for those slightly more expensive species or in open air flower bed for those cheaper and more hardy species.
As for fertiliser, I recently tried inserting a fetiliser tablet (wonder-gro brand) into one of my mineral bottle just to test the effect and it immediately caused the crypt leaves to completely melt off in 2 days (should be due to sudden nutrient shock?). However, I will wait a while more to see if the crypts re-grow back and if yes whether they grow better then before. Maybe you should also wait a while more before you conclude whether your set up is successful of not.
