If your trying to set up a PMP style FC here I would suggest getting a smaller air pump, that was the problem with mine, too much air coming in, a little more detail of your setup would help.

not to sure what a pmp is, but in mine i have about an inch of dry perlite, an air pump hanging from the roof the 48 gallon, 34" x 17.9" x 15.9" transparent rubbermaid, and its got a 1/4" (i think) tube going from it to a 1 pint jar full of water to a bubbler stone. The hunidty stays around 70% and the temp is around 78'F.

Just put some water on that dry perlite and your humidity should be just fine, even without the bubbler setup.

From what I understand (which probably doesn't amount to much :shocked:), perlite will provide plenty of humidity. I don't think you have to keep spraying it, I think you can just add water directly to the perlite when it needs it, which shouldn't be too often...

dry perlite??? it should be moist. try adding a 10% h2o2 to water mixture. (i hope that i understood, but sorry if i got what your saying wrong.)

my terrarium stays around 85-90, and i ust the same meathod that your talking about, but i use about a 3-4" thick layer of perlite on the bottom with an airstone burried in it, and i keep the water level about 1" deep. the h2o2 in the water (i actually use a hell of alot more than 10% because in time the h2o2 breaks down and releases oxygen) completely kills any would be contams in the terrarium itself.

Oh, sorry. i kinda went off for a minute. lol

no. perlite will give you 95 to 100% humidity for months on end. no spraying necessary.

With just a pearlite setup you will have to open it up and fan/mist 2-3 times a day with the PMP you dont have to open it except once every 2 weeks.

Not really. I'm guessing that your growing on PF cakes right? With some moist perlite plus that bubbler setup you should be good to go. You'll only have to mist once a day, maybe even less. Just give it a shot of mist when you fan the box out.
