I am using a proheat rhp, and that is all, to heat the tank. It is hooked up to a herpstat6. Although i would like to hook up a eth to a cannister filter for a water feature. For humidity i have a mistking set for twice daily mistings for 9 and 13 seconds. It is bioactive with a false bottom of 2" of lava rock. Then 5-8" of substrate and planted to the max. I am looking currently for a nice carpet type plant.
