sgfc questions

OK sorry for being pretty nooby.
I watched these videos http://www.mushroomvideos.com/Terrarium-Tek
So the holes and water in the perilte are just to assist in humidity and fresh air, right? You still need to mist/fan?
He did birth and roll in vermiculite then sprayed the vermiculite. since the cakes are covered in vermiculite, does that mean you don't need a drip shield?

Yes the holes and perlite and water all work together in a sgfc to provide 100% RH with good FAE.  Yes you still need to mist and fan.  Did you see anything about a drip shield in the video you watched? No there is nothing about a drip shield.  Drip shield comes from PF's ghetto 1980's terrarium.  No need for them in this day of SGFC's.

Is the reason you don't need one is because the cakes are covered in vermiculite or because of the perlite/holes? Thanks for the answer

The latter I assume... There simply isn't any drip to shield from in the SGFC...

OK. I was going to use around a 10 inch tall container. It says 3 to 5 inches of perlite. Could I use less for a smaller container?

I don't think it should be scaled down, no, but I may be wrong.
