I believe when fish tank terrariums are used for FCs, people use fishtank bubble stones in a small cup/tupperware of water? Hope this helps.

Are you using perlite or a humidifier?
Either way, it'll help to have *real* fresh air coming into the space every day. I like to open a window for an hour, close it wait five minutes, spray Lysol, wait five, then fan. Once a day, when using a humidifier.
I'm sure there are other fine methods, but it's good to have clean outdoor air coming in every once in a while.
Great luck.

I dont think humidity was his issue? OP here is a thread reffering to what I am talking about:http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/11235336#11235336. Im sure if you search around using some of the key words in there you will find some more in-depth information. Goodluck

I recommend checking this out, yes it does create humidity. But it also gives ample fresh air exchange Since your using an Aquarium

fresh air is fresh air. no need to open a window or anything. And using lysol is a waste because its a surface disinfectant and will do nothing to the air. There is now way you will be able to stop bacteria from getting in an FC anyways..
and to OP: If I were you id just run an air pump in there and run it for like an hour a day. I don't know how long you really need to do it, but I am sure you can find the info easily.
