What is planted in the moss or are they mounts on cork?
 
Slipperking, yes the moss is for humidity and for looks.
With the fan I have on there I really need to mist often (4 times a day).

Goldenrose, some are mounted on tree fern slabs, cork and wood. Some are still in there pots raised from the bottom and covered with moss.

As for the room I was not sure I can put plants on the first shelf with plants on the bottom shelf.

I don't know if you'll get enough light on the bottom shelf. I would look into using jus the top shelf or add more light to the bottom. Either way, you are on your way...it only sucks you in further from here.
 
I don't know about having two shelves of plants with one light. It is a good idea of having two shelves and two lights. I will have to talk to my husband about adding lights. I'm sure that he would not mind.

I have a few of the same radio shack muffin fans. you might want to set it so that it moves air near your plants or if they are in a tank, maybe set it so that by blowing air through the fan it pulls air over the tank instead of blowing into it (if that isn't how you already have it set up). I know it is hard to have proper air moving in a fish tank; one way if you do have air blowing into the tank, and the air is a bit strong you could take thin cloth and put behind the fan maybe with some fine screen. that's a way to cut down the air flow a bit but not have to do it electronically
hope this helps, fwiw
 
Well Here is the next evolution from my indoor chamber to the greenhouse. I get about 10 foot of bench space at a local orchid growers greenhouse. I am very pleased with how my plants have seemed to respond with better or at least more consistent cultural conditions.
