I guess you would first need to get the open space volume of the terrarium. So, to do that multiply the length x width x height. That will get you the volume. I will do it in feet. I would not include the height of the box that is filled with perlite or whatever in the calculation. That should give you it's total cubic feet capacity (or whatever unit of measurement you are using). Then you just need a pump that can double or triple that puts out two or three times that volume of air per hour. Does this sound correct to anyone?

No , you can go wrong. I did a few independent tests on air pumps. I bought a big ass whisper double air pump for 20 dollars. It took it about 30 mins to fill up a 2.5 gallon freezer bag. I am suspect about these air pumps, I think you need an automated computer fan. You would need a super accurate timer though, like one that could be shut off every 5 mins.

why cant you keep it on all the time? i dont see how it is a problem as long as you keep your humidity at the right level and temperature

alright, fixed my wet perlite bubbly problem! got a lil bored so i picked up a wire hanger (has plastic around it), my stapler, and some left over screen i had sittin around. Bent the hanger, measured a lil wrong so it came out trapazoidal (stylized i call it). laid the screen on top, cut it about half inch bigger on all sides. cut off the corners, and stapled the screen on while pulling on it to keep it tight. and after a shitload of lysol spraying here's the result.... and with PROTOCAKE sittin high and dry, but HUMID and now i got my bubbles too! YAY!!!!!

Keep the lid. Fill it with verm. The cake will be above the perlite so it won't be able to draw moisture from it. It will work without the lid but you want big shrooms right?

i just want shrooms period! doesn't matter if they're big or not, if they are small, i eat a bunch, if they are ginormous, then i eat one or whatever. so it doesn't really matter to me. also, there's verm in the lid from the top layer that was in the jar right now, and the white inside the jar lid is a lil bit of perlite from when i wlaked into my room at just the right time before protocake almost took a dive. ok, so now it's time for input, leave the cake on the lid with the verm, or take it off and place it on the screen? or could i put moist verm on the screen and then protocake? hmmmmm? thoughts anyone?
