Update:

Changed the bubbler to perlite.

Perlite is bringing my RH up to 85%, how can I raise it more?
Aquarium has 2 air pumps for FAE.
Temperature by now is close to 20° C which is something like 68°-70°F.

It's ok with the temperature, read they will fruit to this with no problem, just takes longer and I'm okay with it. But what to do with the RH? How can I raise it to 95%-100%? Should I place the bubbler inside once again?

Ditch the aquarium and air pumps.....


Building a proper SGFC will raise your humidity.

I should have made a SGFC... probably for the next time :smile:.

In the meantime, I'll remove one of the two airpumps and see if that makes it.

I have 1.8 inches of perlite in a 10g aquarium. And just placed a heat mat to see if that makes the trick.

Also, can the temperature change the evaporation rate of water in perlite? Making my RH lower?

the rh in your chamber just controls how fast your sub loses moisture, the evaporation from your sub gives you 100%humidity on the surface, worse case scenario you have to mist/fan more often

Indeed,
:smbfacepalm:
1.8 inches of perlite in a 10g aquarium and you're not going to have RH, let alone FAE(PPM CO2 < 600-1000), I'm guessing you don't have a 6500k light either?

Sure....just drill 1/4"(6mm) holes every 2" in a grid pattern on all 6 sides, then fill it with 4-5" of moist perlite.

Totes are kinda expensive here :frown:. I payed 10$ for the aquarium.

Normal sterilite totes are running for something close to 25$.
