I am mostly posting this just so I can take notes as time goes on. But others may feel free to post in here if so desired.
Yesterday I just set this little thing up. After doing some research over the past few months, and growing UG in a variety of different conditions, it seems that I've had the most luck doing it this way.

It's just a standard nursery flat and vented humidity dome, in which I have placed 2" net cups, all stuffed with sphagnum peat moss. It turns out that compressed sphagnum comes already innoculated with plenty of microbes and critters that will feed the utricularia. There is no standing water. The moss is just thoroughly soaked first, which contributes to the humidity in the enclosed dome. Also, only distilled water was ever used. Never has tap water come in contact with this setup. Bugs and tiny critters will absolutely find their way inside here, and they will continuously provide nutrient. This setup would basically work for almost any carnivorous plant.
This thread will be periodically updated so I can keep track of how long it takes the pots to fill in and get thick.
