I plan to post picture of the orchidarium in the beggining of next week, i do not want to hijack your post, and I do not have the time before. The plan is to take detail pictures of my solutions.
About fans, I found a fan for computercases from ADDA, model number AQ1212DB-A73GL, that should be waterresistent! I have a 120 mm (4''?) fan but they do it in different sizes.
I'm still having a tough time finding muffin fans though...any ideas?
ROSS--the silicone sealant you used, was is easy to apply? Any tricks?

Carolyn, try Coralife 3-1/8" Cooling Fan Kit They also have 4 3/4" fans. They are 12 volt therefore safe to use in wet environment.
I used plain construction-grade silicone because I only added 8" to the top of my glass aquarium. If I were to build from scratch I would use the WO#40 stuff. I built a jig from plywood to assure square corners and did one corner each 24 hours. When done I used small aluminum angle material and siliconed that to outside. Pretty ugly actually. Then I used an old storm window pane for the top. For me, this job is merely a learning tool to see what I need in my final which I am faving fabricated by the same company Marty used for his tanks. See picture of my setup here
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.)
Wonderful! Thanks for the help with the fan ideas! Now, I also wanted to share some stuff I found in case you ever have the need. :-)
I will be putting in a sliding door system into my "orchid home" and wanted to let you know I found some great stuff at Woodworking Tools Supplies Hardware Plans Finishing - Rockler.com
Also plexiglass prices at
Now I'm working out logistics for lighting. I'm hoping to wire the fans and lighting to a general switch station where I can do everything at the flip of a few switches.
