Default Re: Somthings really wrong..

Oh yea 1Q since paphio mention LFS.. Will it make much difference if i put Moist LFS at the base of the terrarium rather than a tray of water??? Will humidity be reduced or increased???

Paphio,
I haven't start this terrarium yet as i want to know more about stuff like this before i really start

Oh yea if i start this i think'll ill try with my ventrata cuttings and other more umm easy neps 1st...

Oh almost forgotten.....How much air circulation does a nep need?? I read somewhere in the forum that neps need less airflow compared to dews... So can anyone Define the amount of air flow needed???

ken, I have to ask you.. what is the main purpose of your terrarium? Is it to grow highlanders only? Or do you intend to create a display case of lowlanders (in which case, you don't need cooling).. I think ventrata is a good candidate to check your airflow and humidity. If too much humidity and little airflow, might develop fungal problems and die. You might want to try a few cuttings of amp, if got any to spare and bical, as these 2 ake quite boggy conditions...

I might try a highland terrairum with a ice bottle in a cloed terrarium....As for humidity maybe i shall get myself does small machine which makes a misty cloud right over the waters surface..I read somewhere that it'll make humidity to 100%

Or i will just make a high humidity tank which will help me out with some finicky highland neps

Just wanna give it a try on the question, but most porably it won't help much, since it already pass that long..hehe
As i know, in order for the water droplet to form around the cold media(ice bottle) there need water vapour or any state of water that exist in our atmosphere, as water vapour absorb the cold, the hydrogen bonds form between water molecules and hence stick to the cold water bottle, so far anyone who read this should be understand..hehe, a bit scientific word.
Then, water droplet form at the bottle, but during this process, the humidity will be lower, it is because the percentage of the water vapour in the atmosphere is directly inversely to the amount of water vapour, as water is form, which means the water vapour in the atmosphere had changed it's form from water vapour to water droplet, and this will cause drop in the humidity.....the humidity remains till so low because the transpiration of plants and water still evaporate but it had reach a stable condition at that level, thats why it state the humidity level on twenty something, this process continue until the temperature of the ice reach a point when less water vapour is converted to water droplet and then the humidity increases the "converting" process begin to slow down and return back to normal level as the converting process not that vigorous....
(pls-this is just theory, possible to wrong in any description, do correct me...)
Anyone agree with this?
