Using fans without drying out tank? Male
Default

There are no fast and solid rules for this.

I have a small terrarium (12” diameter x 15” tall glass cylinder) on my desk, containing a couple of mounted plants. I water with a hand sprayer a couple of times a day. It has an overhead LED plant light, and that’s it. There is a 2” layer of saturated LECA at the bottom.

Even with a plexiglass cover on the top that leaves a 1/2” gap in the middle, tapering to a close at its ends 3” in either direction, the plants are dry within an hour. If I leave to top off, it’s minutes.
