I seriously wanted one of those Exo-Terra tanks! It's really great looking. Love the doors that open in the front. Love all your orchids!!
I wussed out and bought a twenty gallon aquarium for my first orchidarium. . .which for about a week I thought was called an "orchidium".
I did buy the Exo-Terra light hood, which does not QUITE fit the aquarium. . .just so you know. It was just small enough to keep falling inside on top of my plants with a little assistance from my two orange tabbies. We had to build a wooden hood to make it all fit and to keep the whiskered punks out of the aquarium.
I've got the same temp and humidy monitor that you have. I do really like it. I attached mine to the glass. . .no misting system.
And I think I have that same fan.
But am trying to work out the best way to hang it so that it stays quiet.
How cool do you keep the tank for your orchids? I've heard that it needs to be cool, with a good dip in temp at night?
P.S. Before I got the fan. . .I used your hose technique. I tapped a flexible hose to a humidifer and secured it to blow cool humid air around in the tank.
