    Any opinions on this??

    So i was having issues with not enough humidity (cold dry winter here) in my tub 31qt and kinda used this idea from some one on this fourm but he/she used it on a glass tank with a screen on top but i applied it to a tub and seems to work fine, i just paper clipped(ones that actually hold clip) a towel and soak it in warm water and get it just damp enough were it wont drip water and pull it across half the tank and been doing this for 3 days now and have a steady humidity around 72.

    Why not just close off some of the holes on your tub? If that doesn't work then perhaps your tub is too large. If you have a proper heating source you can place the water bowl over it and it should fix your humidity. Just some thoughts...

    I agree, moving the water bowl over the heat source works great!

    Your entire heat source is a 65 watt bulb? Perhaps I didn't understand properly.

    Ok! Thanks for clarifying Move the waterbowl above the heating pad. Also try taping over the outside of some of the holes. You should be able to fix the humidy this way.
