    Depending on how the humidity/heat levels turn out upon finishing the project, I can easily cut plexi glass to fit the top, or the plants combined with the water feature may achieve our desired humidity levels/heat. We will just have to see.

    I have three exos w/ darts.
    I had to remove ALL the screens to maintain the humidity level.
    It has been replaced with glass.
    They have layered substrate---All three are drilled for drainage.
    Please ,let me know how you make out !!! I'm very interest!

    Thanks ,Lynn
    I'm looking forward to seeing more photos.

    Looks like I will make a glass top then . As a side note, the fogger works quite well. It gives that jungle look, with a fairly subtle fog crossing the ground. Almost a horror movie cemetery look (just not over the top.) I will definitely be posting more photos, then finally a you tube video of everything working.

    Enjoy !

    I was worried that a fogger would prevent me from seeing my darts? ( fog up the glass in my chilly basement ?) Don't know as I have zero experience with them.
    After years with tree frogs ( and sitting in the dark ) I was looking forward to seeing my darts during the day; so I just extended the mist king.

    The fog is so subtle (at least the way I made it) that it will not obstruct viewing. Also on a timer to add to the humidity levels (maybe 6 times a day for 10-15 minutes). Using distilled water will not create mineral deposits on the aquarium glass. (which i'm sure you already know)

    Sounds very nice.

    Let me clarify that though, distilled water ONLY in the small container holding the fogger, as shown above. The pond/waterfall water will be de-chlorinated and filtered.
