Default Update

My terrarium fans were broken - one fan after another. The first ones were Namiba Terra fans and they were running irregularly from the very beginning. Now I’ve got Lucky Reptile Terra Fans. They are more silent and plug between fan and transformer “clicks” tightly. You can put 4 fans in one transformer. I bought first fan set with two extension fans and another set is coming by mail.

The first new fan is now spreading a mist around the terrarium very efficiently. The misting has been running about two week now. I have noticed that - due to the effective misting - I can reduce watering in the terrarium; 3-4 times per week. Before that my primary trouble was a sphagnum moss drying very fast. Now the daily, regular misting keeps the moss moist – very nice and easy. The fan and Mist Maker is connected in a same timer. The timer is on 15 min at a time and off 30 min. A container of Mist Maker has to fill with RO water after 2 days. The watering is made by Matabi misting pump.



The new fans make possible to reform the maintenance of terrarium environment. After I’m arranging orchids and setting new technique I'm going to focus my attention on that. This seems to be a very long project.
