Automatic Air/Heat Question

This is my grow setup.
http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5144655/an/0/page/0
I was thinking of adding a fan iby making a whole in the back of the terrarium and nserting it halfway into it, then glueing it firm. Now, this really seems like its going to be a bitch because i also have to find a way to add a filter in order to not blow dog hairs into terrarium. Any alternative solutions? Will aquarium air pumps work?
I was planning on using a aquarium heater for the terrarium. But do i need to submerge it in water or can it just be truned on in the air? Also i would prefer a heater that i can set to an automatic temperature( i want to have a perfect enviroment in the terrarium) to turn of whebever it reaches that heat. Are their aquarium heaters available with this option or are their better solutions?
Can i use a fan heater to kill two birds with one stone?
This is basically the last thing i need for my setup which im hoping to complete tomorrow. Please help.......

For geting good clean air check this THREADout..
The pics should say it all
for heat look in to a "heat bomb" basicly a jar with the heater in it.
You cant expose the aquarium heater to air or it will break....

Just how much warmer are you going to need to make the terrarium? In other words, how warm do you keep your house? You could consider using a "heat bomb" which is a submersible fish tank heater inside of a jar or bottle filled with water. EDIT: ahh, well snaggletooth got it said while I was typing I suppose.
So far as Fresh Air Exchange [FAE], your coolmist running 24/7 should do the trick nicely. Really no need for a fan. If you want to be extra careful, I suppose you could get 2 coolmists running 24/7. It's a big terrarium afterall, so it might actually require 2 coolmists just to get the RH right, the FAE would be an added bonus.
Good Luck

So even with my Cool Mist setup directly into the terrarium it will supply co2 flow? Wouldnt i need fresh air?
And as far as the heat, i do live in a hot state so come to think about it, i think the problem might be getting it down to 74-76! Ummm, any ideas? Maybe ice in the cool mist water chamber?

ohhh wait. Are you putting the coolmist inside or outside of your chamber? If you've got it sitting outside of it with a hose running to it, then you'll get FAE, recycling fresh O2 in to replace the CO2, however if you plan to put the coolmist inside of the chamber, then obviously there would be no FAE. I would advise putting the coolmist outside of it, mainly for the reason of FAE, but also this way you wouldn't be wasting precious space that could be filled with a casing.
