Hello! I am interested in setting up a 29 gallon fishtank as a terrarium for miniature orchids (primarily pleurothallids, but who knows - I can see myself wanting to grow Den. cuthbertsonii or Soph. coccinea... I'm wondering what type of lighting to use. I want it bright. Since the floor of the terrarium is 18" from the top, I'll be able to give some a lot of light and others will get some shade. My thinking is to put a piece of glass over the top of the terrarium to keep out excess heat and to install a little fan to keep the air moving. Wondering what sort (and how many) of light fixtures/bulbs to use and what sort of fan setups people have been successful with. Any and all thoughts welcomed - I'm a total newbie to terrarium growing.
