Nepenthes Showcase

That setup is beautiful. I was wondering how you had your water cooled lights set up. Are you recirculating the water through a chiller/heat exchanger back through the water jackets on the lights?

Still learning about them.. but I'll get some more info for you today when I'm there.

Mass, you outdid yourself. It looks very nice, and I wish I lived in Michigan so I could come and view it.

shucks.. now your just trying to flatter me. I know it's not all that, yet.

They are the most expensive halide from what I understand. Not sure of the exact price, but I can indeed find out for you. There is a link to what they are in the General Discussions "showcase" thread..

I checked but couldn't find that link. I'm guessing you had to buy the lights and then an additional pumping unit, resevoir, and cooling unit..? Like Vraev, it's perfect for what I'd need, but I'm betting it's way out of my price range. I have a growlab enclosure also, and it has excellent insulating properties. Too excellent, as in I struggle controlling temps with just t8's inside.

That one came from Tony with the others.. The one I got from you is doing GREAT though!


Phase II has begun.. I added a bushy ventrata basket from my personal collection, along with some P.moranensis.
Unfortunately, I ran out of orchid bark for the media.. so I wasn't able to get everything filled in and the live moss down. Which also means I wasn't able to plant the sarrs or dichotoma 'Giant' I donated. But hey, it's coming along slowly but surely. Production will just have to continue on Monday.

a closer look at the liquid surrounding the halides. There are tubes feeding from the fixture and out the back of the growspace. But I couldn't get back there to see what they went to.

Once it get's filled in and the moss is down, I think I may just unpot the neps and plant them directly into the ground media. I dunno.. just a thought.

It looks very good, i like the different mosses :)
I think a dicranopteris would look very good in there :D
You often see those growing next to neps in the wild.
