vivarium construction supplies

Ever since I started reading this thread I have been simultaneously reading about Epiweb and Hygrolon. They were created by a Swedish company called "Dusk Tropic" and are mainly sold in the EU. That being said, on their website Epiweb they have links to retailers and I do believe that the UK retailer that is listed will ship to the US and they carry the full range of the products including the Epiweb IIS (comes with an irrigation system) but also the prices for shipping are extraneous.

What I can tell about Folius is that it is a brand new company (only weeks old) with only one real product, Hygrolon and this is semi limited compared to what Dusk Tropic has created (so far, again weeks old). I did like their website layout, I hope they pick up some more interesting products.

Also, from what I have seen these materials work very well, both Epiweb and Hygrolon, for growing many plants, primarily epiphytes and mosses. But they both, specifically Epiweb, have a tendancy to dry out, so with them a good misting system is essential. Dusk Tropic has also come up with a product that is pre-seeded to grow moss,( http://www.epiweb.se/epiwebiis3.htm more details on the middle of this page) a handy thing to have.

Sorry for the double post
