Biorb Halo 30L conversion for cool humid growers
Default Biorb Halo 30L conversion for cool humid growers

I've been considering for some time moving my cooler humid growers into a terrarium/vivarium setup for some time, whilst juggling money and space constraints.

I've been considering the biorb and it has built in LEDs that will hopefully provide enough light Dracula Lotax, Masdevallia Measuriana, Restrepia Falgenbergii and Stellis Stevonsonii. All humid, low light plants that stay relatively small.

The benefits of it are:
It's light weight - if I go anywhere, I can easily transport it to my mother's and she'll be able to care for it for 2 weeks or so.

Which lead to it's Acrylic - meaning I can modify it easily to fit a computer fan for air circulation. It has a small opening up the top, so if I make the fan suck air out, it should force movement from the top. I wonder if blowing air in would create better air movement however.

Built in LED - the space I want it to be isn't particularly large, so external lighting will take up a fair amount of space.

There is also a square one that I've not seen in person so I'm unsure whether it would be as suitable.

My plan would be to have a water reservoir at the bottom with LECA, covered by hygrolon to prevent Algae. Aquarium wood with Hygrolon attached to wick water up to plants.

I'd like a 60L but I cannot make the space for one. The plan is for 4 orchids which are all very young and small.

I'd like to add a Lepanthes Calodictyon which I have no experience with. As far as I'm aware, it prefers higher light but isn't too fussy, but dislikes low humidity and higher temperatures. Also a very small grower.

Thoughts?
