This is a 2 part system of lighting and misting:
Alright I am wanting to get a new tank going here soon and need to start the planning process.
I plan on keeping plants, orchids, bonsai tree and bromiliads and perhaps some other various small plants.
Now I would really like to use a T-5 light because you are able to use so many different color combination bulbs, they are very efficient, put out a lot of high quality light and stay pretty cool.
so to me it seems like this is a perfect match for a viviarium.
Does anyone have any experience with a T-5 light unit?
here is a decent unit...

Is this in any way shape or form a bad idea to use on a Vivivarium?
The dimensions on the tank are going to be 24x24x20 roughly.
would I need some type of computer style fan sucking any air out to keep good ventilation?
part 2:
Misting systems.
I want to automate this system as much as possible and well, a misting set up is a great choice for that.
I am thinking of putting two nozzles in the tank, spread out evenly against the top back of the wall.
I am only familar with Mist King, they seem kind of pricey.
Does anyone know of any other high quality Misting system that only utilizes a 2 nozzle system?
thanks.
