Now that I've started getting my Zoo-Med terrarium set up, and have finally started feeling somewhat happier about the design since I've redesigned it a million times, I'm curious about how much air flow there needs to be.

My concern is that with the open screen top and the small vent along the bottom front along with a lot of air movement, I will lose the humidity. Right now, with lights on during the day and off at night, the temperature seems to hover at about 60 degrees with 80% relative humidity. Exactly what I've been wanting!

To keep the terrarium happy though, how much air flow are we talking it needs? I can always cover the top with something if need be. Are we talking that the leaves should be slightly moving on the plants at the bottom consistently, or intermittent? Or are we talking more like a gentle breeze that more just moves the air around for like 15 minutes or so?

I find just a tiny breeze is all most orchids need. In my resurch a small pc fan is plenty for most setups
