Ill get back to the email when I return from the trip on the 11th!!! Im no longer though in NC...Im in DC

I can give you more than a clipping of that begonia, it's growing like a weed. It definitely dries out quick I've noticed though, I almost lost it when I first planted it in the tank.

I would gladly take one of each of those! I'll shoot you an email

How many and price were you looking to get...that yellow one is $25 alone...lol. Let me know how many vanzos I need to start setting aside for you too :P...I still say you should do standard lamasi instead...lol

I don't mind spending more to get a couple of really fantastic broms, I'm probably only going to put 6 or 7 in the tank total

awesome Viv Jason.. wish you could provide a parts/ schematic of the build.

You mean like posting the sizes of each pane of glass? Or how it was put together? I could probably throw something together. I've got all the pieces I need to make a couple of 18x18x24s in my garage, if anyone ever decides they want me to build them one I'll take pictures as if it were a how-to.

I want to buy that tank though...lol

This one isn't going anywhere lol. I had to construct it in the loft because it wouldn't fit up the stairs otherwise, or it would have been close enough that I was worried we'd break it.

Jason, Take a look at these and let me know what you think...The prices range from $7-$35. Call me and let me know which one you like and I can ship Monday before I disappear for two weeks:

Everyone else is free to take a look and buy them too but Jason gets first dibs.

Hey Jason , yes of how it was put together. That would be awesome as a step by step..

Thanks guys

Joe, it's the same basic design as this one how-to with a few minor alterations:
http://www.dendroboard.com/forum/par...step-step.html

1. I don't use a euro vent in the front under the door (though you definitely could with this setup)
2. Instead of the sliding door with the plastic rail, I use magnets and an aluminum ledge. I build a 4 piece "frame" on the front (the size of each piece changes depending on what size tank I'm building), then cut and place the aluminum ledge on the bottom piece in between the left and right pieces. Then I silicone a magnet on the inside of the viv at the top, and silicone another magnet on the outside of the door so they line up. It should go magnet - glass - glass - magnet.

I usually cut the doors so they overlap 1-2 inches on each side and 2-4 inches at the top. That might not make any sense, but it's the best I can do to explain it.


Chris, do you have any idea what brom this might be? I picked it up the last time I was by your place and I've completely forgotten the name. I'm really hoping I can get it to color back up again

thanks Jason.. I will check it out.

So... my bromeliads came in, but I had no idea they'd be this large. So my red and yellow "accent colors" have now taken dominance over everything green. I'm going to have to work hard to balance all this color back out.
