Default Terrarium - probably in the wrong forum section...

I cleaned the glass this morning - thank you for the encouragement! Seems like the same conditions that are good for Pleurothallids and mosses are good for algae on the glass...

This one shows the plexiglass "ceiling" of the terrarium. The fan blows upwards. The tube is the output from the fogger.

This one shows the front of the terrarium with all the workings. There's a timer for the lights and one for the fogger.

Plants in the terrarium

Front view showing how it looks most of the time.

Yea really nice. If you point the fan at the front you should get nice clear front. Do you have any other ventilation systems in that tank?

No other "system" per se, but there are gaps between the light hood and the tank itself both at the front and back on the end of the tank opposite the circulating fan. They're both about 1/2" x 3", and they let a fair amount of air exchange every minute.

Nice work, I never was able to keep a Masdie happy in an enclosure.
