    Zoomed is actually offering one called "cannabis".

    Does everyone agree that the small corners around the CHE aren't enough air circulation?

    Personally I see no problem with this but I also don't have a set up anywhere like this. They don't need much air circulation so if the holes around the dome are giving it some I don't see a problem. Someone more experienced with glass tanks should defiantly chime in.

    My plants look like cannabis leaves. I thought it was funny so they're in my JCP cage. :P

    with some cypress mulch, and the moss with a little daily misting you can attain 55-65% humidity easily, i dont even use moss and with bi-daily fogging for 20-30 minutes i can hold 60% in a 20 long with 2/3 of the tank covered with books

    nice looking cage :)

    That little dial thing, is that a thermostat? if so, what brand/kind is it? I've never seen one like that.

    its a zilla thermostat. it like $50. works so far. the only thing i dont like about it, is that it turns off the uth when it reaches the set temp. so the tems fluctuate a little. other that that is good.

    Humidity can be an evil thing. I have used giant bowls of sphagnum moss, humidifiers, spraying, all of course with keeping the top of my tanks 75 % sealed. I understand how much it can suck but you do need a little air circulation so just uncover the spot behind the lamp (about 3 inches by 3 inches looks about the space you have there).

    I use a clean damp cloth changed daily on the top of the tank and I find that works best. Mind you the humidity in my apartment is about 25% (cough, cough) and my tank is 3 feet long so it depends on each individual set up.

    Yah the only way to get away from that is to purchase a proportional thermostat like a herpstat but the price goes up sadly. An on/off thermostat still does a decent job though. ;)

    i have a glass 10 gallon... and found the easiest way to keep humidty up is to use somekinda mulch - cypress of coconut fibers - and cover the entire screen lid with saran wrap - plastic wrap- ... by cutting one hole in the wrap over the hot end and a bigger one it the cool end ... hot air will build up n flow out the hole creating air flow ... start with a relativly small hole - on the cool end - and go bigger to adjust the humidty. leave the hole on the hot smaller .... works for me and it keeps up the humidity at a constant 60%
