Got plants on order to go this route also. I cant be keeping the hassle of constantly misting emersed aquatic plants. Also dont want to go with the rain system we've been talking about

From http://www.airplantcity.com/care.htm...

"If you are growing them indoors and the air is dry, you will need (at minimum) to submerge the plant in water for 2-3 hours about every two weeks. Otherwise, in a shade-house or unheated home, you can use a soaking mist once or twice a week in summer, once a month in cooler weather. "

Good call! I'm wondering if the evaporation from the tank would suffice? ?

That and the way most of their leaves are shaped. From what I recall, they can gather water like mini cups in between each segment of leaves. Since they're pointed upwards, they're adapted to living in the canopies of rainforests where they have to catch the rain drops. Of course the mist from fog helps too.
