Kathy,

There has been an article in some near-recent (last 15 years?) AOS Bulletin
about a guy in Florida who has converted a large floral cooler case to grow
miniature pleurothallids in Florida. He installed a bunch of temp sensors
and fans and lights and whatnot, but the cooling system was already there.
He had a smashing success when it was all completed.

I know this is a big tease - but it at least lets you know people are
actively solving this problem of growing high altitude pleurothallids in a
naturally hot climate.

Are you suggesting a floral case in place of the office fish
tank. Doesn't that make it tax write off as office decoration?
Hummmmmmm Now there is a thought.

You know the grocery stores redecorate every so often and when
they do they junk all the current equipment - good or not.
Maybe you could pick up such a case reasonably.
