A source for ideas along this line, which came up on the aroid list a few
weeks ago, it an ftp site for aquaria. It contains information on building
materials, adhesives, paints, etc. etc. for homemade aquaria, and also
quite a few items from areas such as lighting and automation. I haven't yet
used suggestions from this site, but plan to this summer, when I should
have more available time, for building a large more-or-less
self-maintaining Wardian case/terrarium (the dividing line for the two is a
bit diffuse, prehaps).

To access the information, ftp to: ftp.cco.caltech.edu

The information is in various subdirectories under /pub/aquaria. There's
lots of information on aquatic and semi-aquatic plants, in addition to
building techniques, etc.

Some which I found to be interesting were

diy
fresh...
hardware
FAQfiles/usenet
plants
mail

and a few others which I don't recall at the moment (not written down -
sorry).
