Oops, the second set of pics wasn't posted before I responded..
Looks good. You might do better than a coffee filter, though. And watch for algae growth in the water.Edited by egghead on 05/18/01 06:08 AM.

I'm using a setup that is very similar to yours if not the same. Works very good. The pump starts automatically every 3 hours for 15 minutes which is good for pinning as well as growth. However, I dont use it as a bubbler as the humidity is high enough (or maybe too high) with perlite alone. So I use the pump only to bring fresh air to the terrarium which also brings the humidity level down to the optimal. Works great, I'm about to pick my first crop.
Good luck.

looks good jared. i agree with the above that you might want something other than the coffee filter, even if just for longevity. you can find a myriad of hepa-certified filters at your local sears, or walmart, etc... that you could adapt. furnace fliters can easily be cut to size...
keep us updated if you get this thing of the ground!

Never buy chemicals, regardless, from Advance Scientific and Chemical, Inc.
"Why?"
Buy the book "Sources" by Strike and draw the same conclusion or "heaven help you".

Where can one get the book "Sources" by strike? Is any of it at the hive? Care to tell me a bit about the book? And bubbling air through a flask doenst provide much humididty. Another thing, how did u do your drawings like that? What program is it? impressive. Also there is a much easier and more effective way to introduce clean air into a terrerium using a fish tank bubbler and im surprised nobody posted it alrieady

Sir Jared, I like your drawings! this fella I know has similar setup on his terrarium. The difference is this: he bought one of the larger air pumps that has changable filter media in the bottom. Over the filter media he cut a filter paper (for a filter press). The filter paper filters particles less than 2 microns. They can be bought in different pore throat sizes from Fisher scientific or any lab supply company. They are cheap. The discharge off of the pump goes into a sealed 1 quart water bottle. The plastic bottle cap has 2 holes cut it it with a drill bit and 2 aquarium hose connections siliconed in. From the inside of the lid, there is another piece of silicone tubing (from pet stores) extending down from one of the connections to a bubbler stone submerged in Peroxide. The other connection has silicone tubing that travels from the top of the bottole cap into the top of the airtight lid. There is a 1 foot piece of 1" diameter plastic tubing siliconed near the bottom for CO2 drainage. Stuffed into the end on the 1" hose is a cotton ball to further reduce the chances of contams. The water bottle (with peroxide) is mounted outside of the terrarium so that it can be refilled from time to time with out distubing the fun within. The discharge from the bottle is a steady 88-92% humidity. There is also some perlite in the bottom of the terrarium wet with peroxide to help with humidity. I have measured the output of the pump with a 1 gallon bag (minutes to fill). The pump runs contiuously providing 1 air change about every 1 1/2 hours. The humidity can be roughly adjusted by making changes to the peroxide level in the bottle. It can be easily maintained from about 88 - 95 %. Enjoy the friuts of your labor!

Ill have to get a copy of that program. I think ive seen this posted somewhere before, maybe not, but just run the bubbler into a bottle with some bleach in it, maybe putt some steel wool in there to break the air bubles into a billion tiny bubbles, then that bleached air into another bottle with h202 and a bit of activated charcoal, then into the aquarium. For Humididty just put a light bulb in water and use it as the third jar before the air runs to the aquarium. I ve seen something similar for a glovebox (minust the humididty) but for the fruit chamber I would leave out the air purification its really not that necessary.

Also awhile back i read of people using jars filled with a mixture of perlite and h2o2 with the air being routed from a hawk tank like airpump enclosure. The people who posted said that they used the jar inside the tanks, is there anyway to possibly use the jar outside the tank and have your humidity routed into the fruting chamber?

i was going to build a set up like yours but with a Humidistat controled humidifier dumping moist air into the little jar instead of your pearlite in the last drawing. the humidistat would go in the chamber and control the humidifier on and off. also i would have an fan sucking everything out instead of just little holes.. make a vacume from the coffee filter through the humidfied chamber in to the growth chamber and out again. try and draw that one out.
