    Sticky for covering top of glass tank to hold in humidity

    There used to be a sticky for how to control humidity by covering most of the top of a glass tank with aluminum foil and black duct tape. I refer people to it sometimes. The link is now restricted or gone.

    Does anyone know where to find it??

    Re: Sticky for covering top of glass tank to hold in humidity

    It's still here - the first post was deleted due to pictures no longer being available, which made that post less meaningful and the fact that Cassandra's tutorial covered glass tank set-up perfectly. That change changed the link. Here's the link you were looking for just minus the very first post - this is still stickied in BP Husbandry:

    That doesn't show the aluminum foil & duct tape treatment or I'm not finding it in there. If I can find a copy I may take some pics of my setup and repost it.

    It was VERY useful!!! I refer people to it often.

    Re: Sticky for covering top of glass tank to hold in humidity

    Yeah that one isn't the one with the duck tape and foil.
    I've been trying to figure it out for over a week now and It's bugging me because I have to do my Corn and my BP tanks but not really sure exackly what I'm doing!

    Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?

    Re: Sticky for covering top of glass tank to hold in humidity

    Hi,

    Yes it was a pity when the pictures got removed from the original post but the O.P wasn't hosting them anymore so there was nothing we could do about it I'm afraid.

    Have you tried searchign for tinfoil to see if there were any other pictures?

    OK Smarty pants, were not that burnt out!
    I tried that, but since I'm so smart, I only used one sheet of tin foil and I only taped down the corners of the tin foil and not all the gaps are filled in properly.
