    spraying when its already humid?
    should we still spray the tank even if the humidity is at like 70? or 80? Top is covered with a towl so its going to be really humid

    No, you don't need to spray when the humidity gets that high. If the relative humidity is up like that, I would fold the towel back a little bit and use an oscillating fan to circulate some air around the tank. It doesn't have to blow directly in it, but maybe across the top. This will help lower the humidity down a little...

    If your humidity is good (50-70%) then there is no need to spray. I only mist occasionally during shed cycles.

    Correct :), even 50% Is good, spray if it drops below 50%

    Hi,

    Only time you need to make sure it gets above 60% is when they are in shed. :gj:

    You also need to be sure that the floor of the tank isn't overly moist because it can cause scale rot.
