 Terrerium idea...would it work well?

Hey guys, so i was wondering if this idea would work well for a terrerium. If i were to take a rubbermaid container as like in the shotgun tek except here i would not drill any holes into it. I would drill one single hole. I would put a cup of water inside of the terrerium. Then i would take my air pump and rout a piece of tubing through the hole into the cup and make the water bubble. Would this provide good humidity? i would fan often as well.

I have already tried this brilliant idea (as well as countless newbies that came before us, hehe). Unless you also put perlite or hydroton into the FC, just a cup of water with a bubblier fed from a usual aquarium pump will not give you enough humidity nor enough fresh air. The trickle of air that air pump gives is not enough to support pinning.
But try it out. Put your setup in place and measure RH. I could not get it higher than 70. So, you will still need to mist. Then, when you expect you pins to show up, you'll discover that you also need to fan. sorry
