That is really so cool...
On another note, I found an uprooted tree stump yesterday...  I'm going to get some cool pieces of wood soon!

I have added a bit more wood & more plants -
I am experimenting with the air conditioning, I have three fans fitted, one for internal circulation & one that draws from the outside air. The third fan is linked to the sump & can supply very humid & slightly warmer air than is in the tank.
I have added a air stone to the sump & a automatic top up to compensate for evaporation, I have linked the top-up valve to a R/O unit however I am using water from my planted fish tank to mist the tank.
At present, I am still hand misting about one litres a day but I have been fiddling with various options to automatically supply rain & mist.
One idea I have been playing with involves a pressurised cylinder & a solenoid valve, I am just waiting for a seconds timer to arrive.

Thanks but to be truthful I would love to start all over again!
This is my first attempt with this type of thing & I can now see so many ways to improve the design! Unfortunately my other half is not so keen on me starting again, the tank is in our lounge & she is fed up with me fiddling!!!
So for the time being at least the tank stays as it is but I can still see ways to improve the environment in an attempt to maximise the plants growth & automate the humidity & temp..... I will post a updated pic soon as some of the plants are now becoming established in their new home & are actually growing!
PS I have very little patience.
Fox.

A couple of updated pics - one when it is raining & one with the sun out.
