TropicAire Humidifier
I found this humidifier on Petco.com, and it looks like a decent product. My bro always forgets to cover the kritter keeper, so it's kinda dry in there. Would you recommend this product (or just the DIY humidifier)?

The DIY Humidifier is based on the Tropicaire. If ya want something quick and can shell out the money...Go for it I have it and it works great for me. I wish I had waited just a couple days longer...I would have made the DIY myself.

I just bought one last night b/c I wanted something to humidify my tank, and not have to worry about someone misting my tank while I go on vacation. I haven't got it up and working yet but it's put together. So we'll see how it goes from there.
I have a question also, What type of lids do you have on top of your crabitat with the tropicaire?

A glass lid, but the glass lid does not cover the entire top area, so there is room for the tropic air tube to get into the tank.Telly wrote:I just bought one last night b/c I wanted something to humidify my tank, and not have to worry about someone misting my tank while I go on vacation.

It is very important. I'd buy it if you need help with the humidity.michaelper22 wrote:I ask about this product because we need a way to keep a good humidity level without misting, and the sponge isn't working too well. Is it very important to keep things in there humid?

If you want to use a cheaper/quicker/easier way to raise the humidity, you can just put some aquarium airstones in your water dishes. You just need an air pump, a coupler, a few feet of airline tubing, and a couple of airstones. Less than $15.00 and you're good to go. Won't take up any room in the tank, either.
