    Default I need rain chamber ideas

    Hi All,
    I want to convert this into a rain chamber. ( 36"h x 18 x 18 )
    I really need ideas.
    I guess I am going to leave the planters in place.
    Could they come in handy ?

    upper R has a hole large enough ( in the 'ceiling' ) to pass tubing and electrical tubes for a filter.

    I will have to make the bottom completely water proof.

    Thanks

    Cheri,
    Thanks.
    It's occupied at the moment. { 'Boggie' ( A. moreletii) lives in there }

    I would use only pothos plants.

    The planters would fill w/ water though.
    I could experiment w/ rooting the potos into the planters which are dense styrofoam - without soil, and add drainage holes, therefore removing the dirt? The root shoots stick to the planters really nicely. Maybe even drain the planters w/ tubing?

    ie

    The dirt would make a huge mess mixing / overflowing into the filtering water below.
