Honestly Al, I’m
just learning myself. I have a 50
gallon aquarium that is slowly being transformed into an orchidarium.
It’s pretty crude right
now. I don’t have a top for
it yet. I have gravel along the
bottom and lots of water containers. My light source is my college days bed
light (a tensor). Plus I have a fan
running. The fan is a little strong
for the aquarium, one of my plants was pretty beaten
up by it. I’m afraid I don’t
remember what the strength of the fan is.
I definitely don’t recommend my setup. I can’t keep the humidity up
because it all escapes from the top of the aquarium. I have some pretty tough little plants
in there right now that are very forgiving of my conditions. The plants that have held up the best
are Pleurothallis restrepiodes
and Pleurothallis quadrifida
(=P. longissima). The P. quadrifida
was purchased from a Hawaiian grower that I know (Kawamoto Orchids) who does
not specialize in pleurothallids, but grows a few of
the hardier ones. I don’t
know how much of this information will be helpful, but here it is! Linda -----Original Message----- Hi my name is Al Denaburg and I am
