Default orchids

I was wondering if any of you guys could reccomend a small orchid that likes warmth and humidity year round, obviously for the viv. My viv is a 40 tall (30, 13, 24 lwh) with 2 55w pc's so i don't think lack of light will be a huge issue. I already have bulbophyllum violaceum and it is growing, but slowly and hasn't flowered yet (i've had it about 9months). I am looking for something a little bigger than violaceum.

Thanks in advance, Mark

Search for warm loving plourothalids, mini dendrobiums, medlocalcar decorata, most jewel orchids work. I have also used stellis, and restrpeias.

If you have bright light mini cattleya have done really well for me. They need pretty bright light though.
