That is interesting. I've always read that viruses are incurable. I guess we'll have to wait for him to publish the findings

In a setup like this, should the fans run constantly, or should they be turned off at night when the temperature drops?

Nice setup! What do you use to power the fans?

Thanks for the additional replies. I'll look into the testing kits. I'm leaning toward destroying all the plants in that group. The 2 Paphs are poor quality plants and I would like to grow Phals so I don't want my Paphs to carry the virus and have this happen again

Thanks! I'll destroy the infected plants in the morning. Does the virus look the same in Paphs? I don't see any signs on the virus on those yet

Do any other plants carry orchid viruses? In addition to the Paphs and Phals on that shelf I have Cats on another shelf and African Violets and various succulents on another stand adjacent to this one.

I think two of my Phalaenopsis have Tospovirus (see attached images). Have I made the correct identification? If so, how long do I have to isolate the plants in the same area to make sure they don't have it as well? I have another Paph and 2 Phals on the same shelf of the plant stand.

To add to what Ray said, you should make sure the total load doesn't exceed the rating of the power strip too. The timer is probably the limiting factor, but I've seen cheap power strips with relatively low ratings. Also you should never load any device or circuit at 100% of its rated capacity.

Very nice!

Nice! Lowii is one of my favorites

Beautiful! Parishii is one of my favorites

Nice! Great photo too!

If it is related to the orthene, it is the first time I've ever had a plant that reacted to it. Since it seems like every plant I've ever bought has had mealy bugs, I've used it on a bunch of them. I'll continue to keep it isolated and see what it does.

Here's a better picture:

Those pictures look awful. Let me see if I can get a better copy uploaded
