My observations: cooling of the tank can be done with fans and keeping the heatfrom outside lights away from tank. Sounds like the "swamp cooler" program is working for you. Go for it. Humidity is a plus with this system. I would go for south window if you have one. You can NEVER have enough light in a tank, in my opinion. As an alternative consider a bank of t5 florescent lights (minimum of 4 tubes).

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.)
