The price for this Exo-Terra tank was fantastic, and it was so much better than having my boyfriend try and build me one. Like you, I was very impressed with the front doors!
There's an Exo-Terra light hood? I didn't know that. I'm using a plant light thing we purchased from Home Depot.
I thought about attaching the temp/humidity monitor on the glass, too, but wasn't too sure I'd get an accurate reading. This way, I can move it around the tank and know how it "feels" in there...
Is your fan noisy? My fan isn't really, but I do know when it's on. Is that considered noisy? ha Hmmm...
The hose from the window box fan blows into the tank 24/7. I think the only time I've turned it off was when my neighbor was bbq-ing, and I didn't want the fumes blowing into the tank. For the present time, that's how I'm keeping the tank cool. I think the lowest temps I've had in there -- maybe low to mid 40's (night) and highest into the 80's (day). I think having the fan and the misting system on helped during those warm days. When summer rolls around, I hope to have the AC unit in the bay window, and then you'll see the hose from the AC unit instead of the window box fan.
Hope this helps! Get that Exo-Terra tank! You won't regret it!!
