Looks great, that will make dialing in the conditions much easier! Without a hygrometer, you'll just have to watch the condensation levels on the sides over the next few hours. You'll want some, but less than there is now.

Looking good!
Once the sidewall moisture subsides, you can better showcase your plants.

You'll want to make sure there is still a bit of condensation going up the sides. Once the moss grows in, it will need more frequent watering, you can just take a small cup and pour enough to lightly wet the bottom of the tank, you don't want the types of CPs you're growing sitting in much though, so as little as possible.

Thanks again for all the help. I used a sports water bottle to drizzle a little RO/DI water around the base of each pot. Is that OK or dose it need a layer of water?

That should be fine, as long as they have access too even some water and the surrounding moss doesn't seem dry, they won't need to be sitting in any depth of it.

Thanks! I hope it works.... So wait until that water is good and gone before adding more?

Pretty much, until you have more sphagnum to absorb any potential excess, it would be best to err on the side of caution and not overwater.

Week 4 Update... Lot of new growth so far! Fed with Schultz orchid liquid plant food 15-5-5 twice (mixed 1/2 strength). Have the AC going next to the tank, witch is in the coolest part of my apartment. Had to close the vent a little because of the AC blowing close to the tank. Moss is greening up well! Any constructive comments welcome
