Fan in the terrarium.
    #5329798 - 02/22/06 10:12 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

Hey. I was just wondering if it is safe to install a small fan on the lid of my terrarium that will be designed to suck air out?So that I can have open air sirculation on my cakes while they pin. Is this a good strategy. Any imput would be appreciated.

Not a bad idea, but you want to make sure that you're not sucking out the moisture from your fruiting chamber and blowing it into the rest of the room.

Sure it could be :thumbup:

But it is something that you are going have to work out, for your needs.

I don't know if it would be better to suck/blow:rolleyes: but for some reason I would say blow :wink:

Using a timer is another thing you can do to help with adjustments

Tril and error :grin:

CO2 sinks so that fan will have to blow/suck pretty hard  :blowme: to reach the bottom. depending on your terrarium height.

unless your never home... stick to fanning with a piece of cardboard.

Blowing fresh air in would be better than sucking air out, simply because blowing fresh air in is doing exactly what you need it to do... introducing fresh air. Sucking the the air out via a fan installed on the roof wouldn't really get the same FAE as a fan blowing in from the side.

Yea, I'd just fan it manually a few times a day and add a couple holes to the bottom of your fruiting chamber that you should fill with polyfill.
