Default Are there orchidariums in Canada?

Is there a canadian alternative to the products made by the company Orchidariums. I really like their Grand Cayman and would like to buy one, but thought maybe there is something similar produced in Canada.
Does anybody know?
Thanks a lot.

To the best of my knowledge there is nothing similar in Canada. Though a good old aquarium should do I think. That's what I want to use either way...

Orchideya: also check out the exo-terra vivariums (or other makes). At the moment there are quite a few sales on in the major pet stores. You'll have to tweek some things, but it's worth the effort.

Thank you Mira-Claude and Ezil. I looked through different setups people create with aquariums and terrariums on here. They look quite nice.
All the tech stuff that still needs to be done with fans, wires and lights etc. scares me a bit, so I would rather buy the unit already made with all this stuff and with warranty if something goes wrong.
Plus I like the size and appearance of the Grand Cayman orchidarium.
Apparently they ship to Canada.
They provide it with 4-lamp and 6-lamp option.
I mainly have phals that would go there to have some humidity around. Wonder which option should I choose.
What do you think?

I'm with you on that one. Adding fans, lighting etc. is fine if you know what you are doing or are willing to do some research, but if you can afford the one that already has everything then why not? That should be fine for phals. I've always thought of doing one with an old aquarium but I'm a little unsure.

Default Ordered orchidarium from USA!

Yesterday we placed an order for the Grand Cayman orchidarium with 6 lamps from Orchidarium.com for me.

Now the hardest part - to wait about 2 months until it gets here.

While waiting, I have been searching web for pictures of its setup. Wanted to see how people use the space, what plants they grow in it.

So far I found these:
Orchidarium Pictures - Orchid Board Galleries
and this:
greenfreak.net » Blog Archive » Grand Cayman Orchidarium

If anybody else here owns Grand Cayman orchidarium, please share your pictures, if you don't mind.
Thanks in advance.
