Hello, Those orchids look very nice. Is that a fish tank on end with a glass modified door on that would be the top of the tank? If Not do you think doing something like that would work?

I just set up a 20gallon fish tank with sand in the very bottom and PrimeAgra over the sand, then I put several differant orchids in/on the PrimeAgra with some water, then put Spagnum moss and coconut husk (i think that is what it's called) around the orchids and slighly over the edges of the pots in which most of them have PrimeAgra in them as well. I thought doing all of that would help with humidity. The tank is on a stand and the window is @ 2 feet away with the sun light coming in from the west, however the tank is on the south wall. I check the orchids every morning and mist them. When I see that the Spagnum moss is drying up I water a little bit more then just misting. What do you think? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank you to anyone with suggestions.
