its media ,coconut fibers
you can see in this picture basically how I made it (filler foam and glow the coconut with silicon

OIc...Adi...thanks ur info!!

Why dun try plant the CPs on that coconut fibre without pot?? like that look more natural....

Wow. Great setup. Sticking pots on the background for plants is a bit unnatural looking but helps greatly in holding your plants in place. But I guess you can just glue some coconut peat on the pot to fully camouflage it.

Guys,

What is the fuction of the cooling plate?

[adilevi424]

Hi Ali

the cooling plate connected to the compressor (the heart of the system)
the compressor compares gas through the pips and the cold plate and by that freeze them. the result is refrigerator.
the system works great for me , a week ago the temps where above 30 c, reaching probably 40 c. and the temps in the terrarium where 17 day 11 night.

I will try to make it more clear tomorrow
