    Humidity Issues - need ideas

    So I'm all set up with my 30g. Insulation on 3 sides, foil on the screen. It's holding temps very well. Staying (allegedly) between 76-80 on the cool side most days without much effort. However, it is also holding humidity real well. Perhaps too well. I'm under 80 now, but I still have humidity that ranges from 70-77%. Is that too high on a daily basis? If so, any suggestions on how to bring it down a bit?

    I used to have issues keeping humidity and had to mist. Now I have the opposite.

    Re: Humidity Issues - need ideas

    the bottom tub on my rack and my whole rack in general had a similar issue when I switched to cypress mulch . I found that more airflow (ventilation holes and a small fan in the room ) brought down the humidity to acceptable levels . During shed I just mist some water and I'm right where I need to be

    Peel back a small bit of the foil on opposite corners for ventilation.What are you using for substrate?
