Oh! Ok, I have a friend (paleoclimatologist) who's now doing his post-grad at UT Austin. He's built himself an orchidarium. I think it's a 70gal aquarium that he's outfitted. He grows some rather small species, if I recollect. I'll have to dig up his thread on my reefkeeping site.

Here you go: 70 gallon rainforest orchidarium journal. He can be acerbic at times, but I am SO proud of him, he's come such a long way since we first met (online, this is the same website where my husband and I met as well, and we both got to meet Chris last year).

You should be able to view the full thread without registering. If it were in The Sump, then you'd have to be registered. And mentally prepared.
