Low Humidity Woes
Posted: Wed Apr 05, 2017 4:28 pm
Hello.
I have had my current set up for about two years now and when I first set up the tank the humidity was at 70-80% hovering more at 70%, but now the tank seems to only maintain about 40%-50% hovering more at 45%. The screen lid has box tape on it with the sticky side facing out of the tank as suggested, the sand is sand castle consistency, and I have plenty of moss that I re-wet every so often. Both the salt water and fresh water dishes normally stay wet and very rarely dry out unless the little crabbies knock it over. I'm not sure what else to do besides maybe adding more moss and lowering the gauges as I put them up higher then the hermits are, so I was wondering if there were any other suggestions to up my tank humidity. When I upgrade the tank I was thinking bigger water pools and maybe an air stone in one of them.
Thanks,
Emmers
