After finishing up all of the silicone and cocofiber I built a "cage" for the pump and set it all up.
On top of the eggcrate is window screen to prevent any dirt from falling into the water reservoir, on top of the screen is a 2in layer of expanded clay pellets for drainage with a thick layer of cocofiber/sphagnum moss on top of that.
Pots were imbedded in the greatstuff while I was doing that step to have a place for plants.
The Future
I will be putting a piece of glass that covers half the top and a screen door on the other half to help with moisture and humidity as well as aesthetics (the glass will be on the front half so it looks like a glass cube)
A 2-bulb T5 fixture will be added along with a misting system
More ghost wood will be added to the land as well as some vines I like from here on campus.
Baby orchids will be placed in the pots on the wall, a small bromeliad on the ground and some moss and ferns here and there will all be added.
And last but NOT least a pair of Dendrobates azureus aka the Blue Dart Frog which are STUNNING
