Hi
The cabinet is 125*120*60 cm (w*h*d, 30 cm = 1 ft)
Air circulation is very good inside the cabinet! I have two computer fans, 120 and 90 cm. I also have a fancontroller from a computer, so I can controll the airmovement in a good way. You can see the bigger fan in the top of the cabinet.
Humidity, I had 96% relative humidity in the cabinet this morning..... though the ventilation to the outside is more or less nonexisting at the moment. Have to look into this later. In my masterplan I have a mistingsystem like the ones mistking sells, but that will have to wait.
Biggest problem now is the heat radiation from the lights. I have to monitor the temperature for a couple of days to see that everything is Ok for my orchids. I probably have to install same fans in the lightbox.
The background is built of teak and one piece of epiweb. The inventor of this material is a member of our orchidsociety, and I have seen what he grows on it and I am impressed! Niether the background or the false bottom is permanent fixed to the cabinet so I can just lift it out.
