humidifier question
    #6821746 - 04/23/07 02:21 AM (17 years, 8 months ago)

Folks..

using the humidifier (tropic aire) setup.. is it still necissary to wet the Perlite? Or will the Tropic Aire do justice alone?

Thanks!

If your asking if you need to wet perlite for it to humidify stuff then most certainly yes. If your asking whether a coolmist humidifier will make the perlite wet, then absolutly no.

i have perlite on the surface.. tropic aire set up is just an FAE / humidifier. I assume it definitely wont wet the perlite but i was hoping it would bring the humidity to the point in which i wouldnt need to wet perlite.. suppose it wouldnt hurt if i did.

well there is certainly no use for dry perlite..... if you have it in the bottom of a fruiting chamber pour water till its 2/3 from the surface of the perlite..... i have a tropic aire.... its all about the power of the aqarium pump and the size of the area to be humidified... although i wouldnt expect them to do well with anything larger than a rubbermaid.... even then it should be monotub style with holes top and bottom stuffed with polyfill.... if anything its supplemental... they help is what i'm sayin but it just depends on the setup
