Hi Mary Linn,
glad you like it. I hope for the best as well for the Notylia. Those plants are not easy to get. Found this one at the Redlands show, though don't recall whether it was part of a pre-order or a lucky find.
Re fans, I think the humidity in the enclosure is not kind to electrical devices. The lighting fans are rather made for "normal" home humidity, and usually are on the overpriced side (IMHO). I attach some fans to my non-cooled T5s and those are also just computer fans. The ATI fixture on this tank has built in fans. So I try various brands of computer fans for the in-tank ventilation. In my other terrarium, I have some fans that are 5 years old, run 24/7 and are still fine. Go figure!
I will not reduce the humidity, as my dear Oberonias like it that way. It is interesting to note, that the leytensis in the warm terrarium flower about a month earlier than the ones in the intermediate GH. With Oberonias, I usually get about 5 plants per morph/species, so I can play with culturing parameters. Occasionally I get additional duplicates due to blatant misIDs, but that's another story.
