I honestly was not expecting it to mold. I have pretty good air movement and the other SH vessels in the area don’t mold or grow algae.

I suppose I shall find out lol

Great setup!!! Thank goodness the paint was left as is. I love it.

Would you put the fan inside the case?

The case isn't airtight... if the doors are left open, the air circulation may be adequate. That's where just keeping an eye on the temperature inside is a good idea - if there is no major heat buildup relative to ambient conditions, it's a safe assumption that air exchange is adequate too. I think that just observing what is going on is the starting point... find out if there is a problem before trying to fix it.

This is different than the classic Wardian case, which is a closed and controlled system.

the paint was never an option.....i am a "rust colored gold" kind of guy


I was thinking that i wont need it but the numbers will tell.. it is on a table about 6' below a ceiling fan that is always on. there are two small (heart shaped) vents on the sides of the case and i was thinking i would place the fan OUTSIDE but pointed in the vent....if it is needed
