Hi Magnus
I like the new orchidarium. What are you using this time; glass or acrylic? Just curious as I am still sorting out what I will use.

Thanks!
I have no possibility to take pictures now and it can be hard to describe the details. Hope you understand....
But this is the basic:
I have to admit that I found the frame for my new orchidarium second hand. It is a custom built terrarie but the back and the bottom was in very bad shape. The frame is built in standard aluminium profiles, the doors and front is glass. The top is glass and an aluminium mesh that I plan to change for polycarbonate (lexan), the mesh is shading the planned light!
The back wall is a composite built from styrofoam and MDF (medium density fiberboard). It is sealed and strengtend with glasfiber and epoxi resin and finaly painted with a two component polyuretane lacquer for marine applications. The bottom is MDF, also sealed with glasfiber and epoxi, and finaly painted with a light grey two component boat lacquer made for use under water.
Picture will come next year!
/Magnus

I will grow more or less everything I have in the new one. The same as in my "old" one. the condition in temperature will be intermediate to warm in summer and intermediate to cool in winter. I test whatever I can get my hands on but mainly miniature to extreme miniatures.
