Recently I got an 18 x 18 x 24" Exo Terra terrarium for my orchids. I've had it for about three weeks now. Right now the setup is pretty bare bones - two cheap grow lights, a USB fan sitting on the mesh, and a humidity + temp gauge. I only have 5 plants in there just sitting on the glass (this whole thing is a WIP)...
I water the plants outside of the terrarium but I've been misting a few times a day to try and boost humidity. Just now I was musting and noticed a foul smell, almost putrid, coming from inside the terrarium (barely noticed it when I closed the doors). The only thing that I changed today was adding plastic wrap over the mesh to keep in humidity.
It's possible that it's been like that for a few days and I just hadn't been close enough to notice, but I'm not sure.
When I first got the tank I scrubbed it with vinegar and rinsed it with a hose.
What should I do?
