Hmmmm. . .Thanks, Ross.
By jove! I believe you are on to something. Screen isn't necessary for this application unless you start raising critters. If you are going to buy glass anyway, try looking for some sort of heat absorbing glass. You would only need an inch or so of space if you can hang or wedge a 12 volt 3" fan like mine. Have it run only when the lights are on.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Masdies, Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)
