wine cooler grow tank

[chibae]

Hi all, I've read about people being talked out of converting a wine cooler to a grow tank, but I have just been gifted with one for just that purpose.
It is 20.5 inchs wide, 18 inchs deep and 27 inches high. The motor unit controler was replaced with a digital thermostat. It had oringally been converted for use as a comic book storage unit but the humididty never stayed dry enough.
So, what do I do to convert it to a cloud forest climate?

i'd say have an ultrasonic fogger on top of the cooler, make an opening where you can put in the tube, then when it fogs, you'll have a cascading effect. or you can install a timed misting system.

Make sure you post some pics when you get it up and running! This sounds really intriguing. Do you have any specifics in mind of what you'll grow in it?

I hope to grow cloud forest cps and orchids in it

I've been considering building a wine cooler terrarium for a while. In fact, I was in the shops looking at wine coolers a couple of weeks ago. Have you decided on what lighting you are going to use?
