I will switch to cypress when I do my first cleaning. I'll try to pick up some moss this week and add it in. I find I need the bulb to keep the cool side at its 80 degrees. I suppose I could switch to a CHE, but then it would have no light in there at all. So unless it's necessary, I'll keep the light. I'll be misting.

Question on the moss though: How do you dampen it? How damp? How much in the hide? Warm side only, or on the cool side too?
