Terrarium idea.

While waiting for my seed bank order to arrive I've been
thinking about how to germinate what I've ordered. I've
decided to place all the seeds in damp, milled, spahgnum,
either in pots, or in little six pack containers. The
problem is, I want the containers to be within a few
inches of the lights, and the Nepenthes in there are too
tall for that.

The solution? I have some plastic grid sitting in the bottom
of the acquarium so I can keep about 1/2" of water in there and
not have the Nepenthes sitting in water. What I'm going to
do is to cut a piece of the grid off, then raise that portion
alone up to the lights, using plastic pots to block it up.
I'll have a split level terrarium. Of course, some of you
have probably already figured this out, but I was sort of
pleased with myself for making the most of my limited space.
