Thank you, I'm pretty happy with it myself. C. Wendti and C. Nurii like similar conditions and both are typically hardy. Once you have your Wendtii growing well you might want to try Nurii.
One thing I do it consider future Acauscapes and plan in advance. My Nurii patch will eventually (?) be moved into a rimless cube I want to set up in the dinning room. Right now the plan for that one will be C. Nurri, moss and shrimp only. If.when I do that I'll be putting in over heard lighting. So that will most likey be after the new year.
The Java is doing well. It's a hard balancing act though. If I dim the lighting it grows longer and so do the crypts. I like the crypts in that height range and with the hight light they stay about there.

It was pretty hard to find shades that had enough air flow and didn't look out of place in the living room. The PAR38LEDs need to stay cool for a longer service life. One of the goals from the start was not not look like
the fish aisle at PetSmartCo.
