    Default Vivarium Covers

    As you know I have finished the 55 Gallon Vivarium. The humidity in the tank stays at a constant 99 percent. The problem I have encountered is the front glass is constantly covered in water which obscures the view. I know you can get a screen top to fit the tank but does anyone manufacturer's a glass top with screen combination? I would be looking for something that only has a very thin width screen area at the front to allow the glass to clear of water.

    There are ways to do it but its just easier to use a screen lid them ;lay a piece of glass over it.
    Talk to Tony he may be able to help you out with a lid like you want.

    anything over 75% is safe. Higher levels during breeding cycles. dryer when you want to shut them down for a while.

    I've got mine set at 93-95 percent right now and they're pretty spunky. I guess I could lower it some.
