Hey Wiley, Black Jungle mentions their site they just use silicone to adhere the coco fiber on the back wall. You'd probably have an easier time with that. ...
The coconut fiber degrades over time. You're much better off with tree fern panels, at least according to Deven. And my experience suggests he's right. Ed ...

Any group reccomendations on misting systems? I'm concentrating really hard on moss growth in this next viv and I'd like an automatic mister. I've been looking...

FWIW, my moss has been growing spectacularly with no misting. The soil is quite damp because this is a paludarium and I have a Sunbeam ultrasonic humidifier...
Yup. That's the set up I have with my Sunbeam Ultrasonic Humidifier. Just find a humidifier at any drug store or dept. store or Home Depot, etc. As long as it...

Well, the 15 dollar versus 160 dollar difference was too big to pass up, so I found myself a walgreens cool mist humidifier on eBay. Now I just have to figure...
