I don't monitor it too closely these days now that it is running along well and most everyone seems happy. The only plant not happy is a small Max. sophronitis division I tried in there.
I light it with two 60 watt equivalent LED daylight bulbs. Time the lights are on varies with the season- I somewhat try to match when the sun is up outside. I have a CPU fan that runs 24/7 and water daily with a pump sprayer, hitting all the plants including the moss. I really douse it twice a week and make it like a little rainstorm.
There's no soil on the base - it's all hydroballs, aquarium gravel and lava rock and usually about 1'' of standing water. When that starts looking pretty iffy, I drain the water with an airline tube.
I keep it as cool as I can, lower end of intermediate I suppose. Nightime is 58-64F and daytime is 70-75F. Mid summer and mid winter are easiest to maintain temps with either the AC or space heater. Right now things are a little warmer than I'd like but everyone seems okay.
