 Glass Aquarium, keep searching no luck

I had a pet snake, I no longer have a pet snake. I DO still have a 90 gallon Glass Aquarium (tempered) with no lid. (i had a custom lid for use with the snake)
Its sterilized, it's huge, and I can't seem to find a good tek for how to utilize the thing.
Am I better off just going the martha route for a fruiting chamber?
I lost my hydrometer and I've been using this big metal filing cabinet the size of a martha with a cool mist and an ultrasonic on a timer, but my fruiting is going slow as hell. I'm in the proper temperature ranges, and according to my shitty wireless electronic temp/humidity monitor, I'm doing things right. Not sure whats going on here, argh. Thinking maybe I should just buy another vinyl green house when I have the cash, re enforce the stress spots (mine ripped last time even though I taped and caulked the shit out of it)
I tried searching the forums for glass aquarium but I didn't find anyone having much luck or any photos, could anyone point me in the right direction, toss up any CHEAP suggestions ?
thanks
love and peace

Greenhouse is the route I go. 
Most Hygrometer's are shit, especially digital.
I'm a little lost by your post... Your saying your using a Filing
cabinet for your Fruiting Chamber Correct? But want to use your now
vacant aquarium?
Fresh Air and Water Evaporation off your substrates are a huge
pinning trigger...
I suspect neither the aquarium or the cabinet allow enough Fresh
Air Exchange

I've got the ultrasonic and the Cool mist outside of the fruiting chamber piping everything in from the outside, so their intakes take in fresh air.
I think there just isn't enough air circulation in the filing cabinet thing.
it looks like this
http://209.11.224.92/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/IMG_2430-e1328305795748.jpg
has no shelves in the inside, trying to make shelves. Like it doesn't close completely (shits ghetto)
I used to have good luck with something similar, but there was a mold outbreak so I never took it with me when moving.
How do you guys keep air circulation inside to keep water evaporating off substrates?

I use a plastic aquarium and I just use the standard pf tek except for the fae I put a cup of filtered water and a aquarium pump half sticking in the water and half out. Mist and fan 4-5 times a day. I've had amazing success with it and don't even need to try a standard SGFC becuse my setup works wonderfully. Apparrently people don't have too much success with aquariums but i do..

ahh, well thanks.
I don't really PF, the yeilds are slim and its easier for me to do bulk trays/buckets.
For like a year I had great success with food safe 5 gallon buckets with a humidity hosing system going to each one individually, I'd get about an ounce and a half per yield, per bucket. But it just stopped working out for me at some point and caused me to look into marthas. Plus having 5 or 6 buckets strewn about is very suspicious.

Also, all the timers I ever seem to find at the store are 48 ticks, 30 minutes per tick.

a good timer can be located at a hydroponic store or online. i bought 4 of the nice C.A.P. timers. they have an on cycle of 1 second to 20 minutes and an off cycle of 1 minute to 12 hours. they rock

not to dispute your help, but are you sure its 15 minute intervals? because thats more or less the same timer I got at the home depot, and 48 on off settings 48/2 2 = on/off = 24
so its broken up into 48 30 minute intervals to = 24 hours.
is it actually 15 minutes when you use it?
also, thank you so much for your time sir!
