Indoor Greenhouse Suggestions?

[Vbkid]

So the town Lowes here at school got in their annual shipment of 3 tier, indoor greenhouses. With my collection being larger than last year (but still very small) it is much more enticing to get a small greenhouse to keep everything in. So a few questions:
1) What are the advantages/disadvantages of a greenhouse over a tank
2) What factors should I look for in one
3) Are there any brands that are cheaper/better than others that anyone would recommend
Thanks,
Kyle

How big a GH is it exactly?

Think lighting too, is it going to be in a window and what lights will fit. Mine seams the same as what your speaking of but mine is a 4 tier and it fits a lot of plants. The cheaper you go the cheaper the plastic cover will be and mor vulnerable to tearing along the stitch line. I started with a 50 gal tank and my collection soon outgrew the area so def look into a greenhouse if you plan on getting more plants in the future.

Its maybe 4-5 ft tall, maybe 2.3 wide, so wide enough that I can put at least 1 2 bulb 2ft strip above each level if needed. I might stop by tomorrow and figure out the square footage inside the thing.

much liek this one I just found on amazon:

I have on top a 3 bulb bathroom vanity i got at the hardware store for 15$ with 3 compact 6500 k florescents the second rack i have 2 dome lamps and a single 24 " tube all 6500k the 3rd rack i have a dbl 24" tube one 3500k one 6500k and a dome lamp. 6500k lights will give more color to the plants, i also hung them with strings so i can keep them closer to the plants and lift them as they grow.

I have something similar...I think the main issue you will find is stuffing enough lighting into there, not to mention most neps will outgrow it, even the "small" species.

I would assume that thing would build up some pretty high temps with the lights inside and the plastic zippered up too. Maybe pushing 100 degrees with some high wattage cfls....?
