Going to start a new, large-ish, tank today dedicated solely to my dews. Thought I'd post a couple pics of one of my smaller tanks for inspiration. That, and I want to make sure I do it right. I'll post plenty of pics here once I'm done. Start to finish of course..

Ohmygosh that Nep is so beautiful.

I must say I'm jealous. Keep us updated on the progress with your dew tank!

Looks so coolly overgrown! Oh yeh I've got a N. Veitchii x Platychila on the way, I thought you'd like to know

That is a beautiful tank! What conditions do you grow your moss in (temps, humidity, lighting, etc.)? That is a gorgeous Truncata!!! (it is a Truncata right?) Can't wait to see the new dew tank once it's setup! Good luck!

The tank is in my HL greenhouse.. so I'd say it get's like.. 80*F days, 58*F nights, and it's covered, so the humidity inside is anywhere from 90% to 100%. And I only allow it to get very low light from a few T12's.
And it's a truncata x veitchii 'Batu, Buli'.. IMO, a truncata with an extreme makeover.

Keep us updated on the progress with your dew tank!

haha.. yeah. You know I will Summer.

Congrats! Definitely one of my favorites of the veitchii crosses. You won't be disappointed.

Can't wait to see it get put together!

Also your current tank is amazing

 

[Physalaemus]

Will be following along here. Can't wait to see what you come up with

This is gonna take a little bit before it looks presentable. Temps are holding tough at 80*F day (night is unknown at this point) with 90% humidity.

 

[mass]

It's getting there.. Just need to add misc. plants and sundews, and we'll be up and running.

 

[pappydew]

Too much humidity...can't see in there! LOL

 

[mass]

only 97%.. I've since added a large fan.

 

[Nep Lover]

looking good mass im looking into a repti humidifier for humidity but i dont want my light bursting, may put glass over the tank then add the humidifier and put some shop lights over the glass?

 

[pappydew]

Psh, only 97%?

 

[mass]

Psh, only 97%?

haha.. yeah. With the fan it's down to 90%.

that'd work.. I cover all of my tanks with plexiglass.

Mass Do you have a problem with the plexi cracking or obscuring the light after a while? Or do you just replace?

Nope, no problems. And doesn't need replacing..

Cool I have p[lexi in the shed for another project. IDK if mine has the UV coating or not. I will give it a try. Thank you Mass. It might be better for me.

 

[mass]

Mine doesn't have UV coating.. but it IS bullet proof!
