Trouble keeping substrate moist throughout

Thank you for fast reply! I will cover it right away! I'm also gonna have to cut the screen kid to get the fogger tube down in there. Now I assume I should poke hole in the aluminum foil to allow some air exchange? Thanks again man

Yep, I cut a section out right below the ceramic heat emitter but my enclosure is also smaller than yours. Try covering a portion of the top....not the entire top and see how the humidity holds. Leave space below the CHE and fogger tube clear.

Ok will do! Im doing this now so as it unfolds (have to get foil first) I will let you know how it's working. Thanks for your time!!

Well guys i think i got it tuned in (fingers crossed) got the lid covered in foil and got and left an 8" opening for the CHE and another hole through the actual screen for the fogger tube. Humidity held at 70 all night long and that's a first! When I got home the damn thing wouldn't even work! But after messing with the knob for awhile it kicked on and worked flawlessly (again, fingers crossed) lol...still trying to find the sweet spot on the dial for the CHE but since it's a 60 watt it pretty much has to be 3/4 the way to max. Here's a pic of the new setup! Thanks guys!!

Good deal! Hopefully that will end the problems you have been having.

BTW always check amazon prices before going to the big box pet stores.
