OK I held out as long as I could. A few months ago I tore down the 56 column and started all over from scratch. I wanted something that would last for a while and be quick to build, so I opted for a tree fern back ground with cork bark panels for the sides.

The wood I purchased off eBay over the course of a few months to get exactly the look I wanted. None of the wood is imbedded in the background to make it easier to maintain and change if I see fit to do so.

I wanted this build to be epiphyte heavy with lots of moss, orchids, peperomias and others. I still have a few plants to purchase but the overall look is complete.

I already have a couple of gallons of ABG, magnolia leaf litter that I will add after I move into the new house, which should be in a couple of weeks. I also have a pretty nice culture of dwarf white isos, dwarf purple isos and temperate springtails.

Well sorry for being long winded. Here are dome pics of where I am now.
