I'm looking for input on setting up a lowland terrarium in a 29 gallon aquarium. I currently have a propagation mat, for heat, below the tank with 2" of water in the bottom of the tank with eggcrate above the water for the plants to sit on.
My problem is copiuos amounts of condensation which is causing the growth point on my cuttings to rot! I have two peices of glass on top of the tank so I can vary the opennig size for vetilation. The tank is in my basement. Short of adding a humidifier which will take up too much room, is there a better way to humidify the tank. I relize that the ambient temp. of my basement is contributing to my problem.
Yesturday I tilted the glass cover so the condensation will run down to the tank's side instead of dripping on the plants. I will check today to see if this is working.
Any ideas?
