    Re: so im changing from tank to tub.....

    Humidity trouble in tanks is fairly easy to cure. It just takes covering the screen top with the foil treatment. Occasionally during shed times you may have to mist or add a humid hide, but otherwise the humidity stays right where it should with the foil up there.

    And, I should say that tubs are not always a sure fix. I have a homemade rack of three 90qt tubs to save space (and will be building a second one soon) and the humidity in those things is never where I want it! I covered every single hole I had made in those tubs and they're still too dry more often than not. In contrast, my 5 tanks all have perfect humidity with the exception of one that is in the path of the heat vent.
