Subject: Home for CP

Hello to all, this is my first list posting, I will post some details
about myself shortly.
I want to set up a home for my various CP, but unfortunately I live in a
unit which has nowhere to set up a greenhouse of any description. I was
wondering wether an aquarium (24"x12"x18"or 36"x12"x18") would be
suitable?
Has anyone set up a system like this before?
Can you describe your setup?
What lighting is required?
What do you normally keep in there?
What do you do for winter hibernation?
I have some VFT, sarracenia, and nepenthes which I keep on a windowsill
and some drosera and pinguicula which I keep in a small terrarium.
I live in Adelaide, South Australia.

Also, I have been reading in a some CP books about "Spraying with a
fungicide" or "Dip in a fungicide before repotting" but I cannot find a
mention of a brand name that I can go and buy. Can anyone recommend a
good fungicide that is available in Australia?

Tim Russell
