DIY simple nepenthes highland chamber

Started a little highland chamber. If anyone has something to add that might help my set up please feel free.
What I got for now
50gallon clear storage

Drilled 4” holes on each side for air intake. Also cut most of the lid for a window

Drilled a small hole on the bottom for drainage. Then siliconed a small pvc pipe to keep the water level a certain height before it drained

And this is how it looks so far.

Sitting on a partial shelf unit. The vent inlet on the far is connected to a inlet fan which sucks in air conditioned air from a home vent at night for an hour.
The duct closes has just a simple fan attach and goes on once every 2 hours for 15min and blows air over the humidifier inside the bin.
I will keep you updated if this set up is working for the 1 nephentes I have. More being purchased soon
