My first orchid tank
 

I was waiting my orchidarium for 5 months and there was still no certain date when it will be shipped, so I cancelled my order and took on an DIY project.
Many thanks to everybody on this board who helped me to choose the equipment.

Here is a reptile tank how I bought it:

And here is how I converted it into an orchid tank:

Looks Great!

Thank you!

Nice!

Looking very good!

But I can not see any fans for air circulation. dDo you have any? If not, consider one or two 12V computer fans, otherwise you could get problems like mold and rot.

Thank you WhiteRabbit and Magnus.
I am thinking of getting a small desktop fan to put in there.

I like your different levels inside the tank. How did you construct the diffuser grid?

Thank you Phal_grower.
I used egg-crate sheets 4 ft X 2 ft from Home depot cut to size for my levels.
The levels are resting on the glass vases of different height, but you could use for support anything that has same height, stable and does not rot in the high humidity conditions. Some people use cut PVC pipes from the plumbing department.

That's very cool. I have some new ideas to play with now. Thanks!

Very nice set up, now if I only had room for some thing like yours
