Well space is a big concern for me, the wife is about to kill me as is. I've gotten pretty good as maintaining 70-80% humidity in smaller tanks over the years. Most of these type tanks end up with a bog of some sorts, it really keeps the humidity stable from my experiences. I have about 10 vivariums ranging from 6" cubes to 18" cubes, most are 75ish humidity daytime and 85ish nighttime.
Temperature control is something to put alot more thought into, although T5 lights don't put out that much heat. I'll measure the temps for a few days and see if things are getting too hot before I move anything in.
As for air movement I'm still undecided whether to use 1 or 2 fans. I'll probably have to set it up to see.
So far the plan (still being worked on)
2 T5 lights
1-2 80mm PC fans
Some type of bog for emersed aquatic plants + some humidity control
The Macrocliniums will be mounted on aquatic driftwood (the heavy sinkable kind)
Some type of mini-ficus for the background + more humidity control
Still thinking about the set-up so input is great. While a larger area would be nice I just don't think I can sell that to the spouse without more insurance

. They leached alot of the water out per day, alot....and the moss I attacted to it dried out which is odd since the pot was wet. I might try again someday, but its not as simple as the thread suggests. Atleast from my experiences.
