Fucking with the natural circulation

  What WILL hurt is putting an air pump in there, because it will screw with the natural circulation that keeps fresh air flowing up from the bottom through the damp perlite.  Any sort of positive pressure from a pump will destroy that natural pattern.

Is there anything else we shouldn't add/do to your terrarium design?


Like adding a tiny CPU fan on a timer would be an unwise decision?

So adding the Tropicaire Humidifier from Sporeworks would do more harm than good?



Basically what I'm asking is there any beneficial devices or tasks we could to your design that will give proper FAE while one is out working for several hours?

That's what the holes on all six sides are for. The environment in a shotgun terrarium is self-sustaining. All you need to do is mist as required.

On a side note why would you pay for a plastic container with holes in it..  You have plastic containers around you I am sure, and I am sure you know how to punch holes.

I guess capitalizing on what people don't think about doing for themselves is the name of the game in getting ahead though.

You make a good point but I don't see how this remark addresses the OP question.  He never mentioned buying a container with pre-punched holes.

I was adding it as an amendment saying it was a waste of money as well as time to force air into your box especially if you go to the store to buy a premade jar with holes in it.

Which is what the tropicair link he posted is.

Adding could be foreseen as buying

the trick is to pump the air in at the bottom, not the top!

my friend had that problem and didn't know what was wrong for the longest time.

he then routed the air pump through a vinyl tube, into a foot-long aquarium-specific "air stone" which he laid at the very bottom of the container, covered by the perlite.

the humidity and circulation is fine now, and i can forsee this type of setup having the added benefit of being able to control with a single switch EXACTLY WHEN your monotub casing starts air and light. just mount the airstone on the side wall right above the top of the top casing layer.

No worries amigo.  Usually when I am shopping around I look at things in two ways.  Things I need to buy, and things I can rip off for cheaper.

I use a 60 gallon pump to a 1 qt mason jar with just an airstone when I am away for a couple days.  It is more for keeping the temperatures in good ranges though cause I added a fishtank heater making it sort of a reverse swamp cooler.  I have had my house temps in the fifties and my FCs were at about 68-71 depending on the time of day when I tested it.
