Hey,
As far as the lights go, I have been growing under T12 and T8s for a long time with success. However, I wanted to go over the top with this one. Also, I wanted to have a reflector that could be moved one day if I want to increase the growing area. Each socket can hold up to 250 watts. On the other hand I can lower light if neccesary. I just got tired of not having enough light to bloom some of the orchids I love. To me humidity is the biggest issue for orchids like many of the Aerangis I have.

What is the recommending light for an orchidarium of this size? I have an empty aquarium that might just turn into a project
