Default Re: Terrarium Room Build (Pic Heavy)

I do have misters in there. I put the system together from Home Depot parts. Depending on how it holds up, I'll look more into the Mist King system. I also purchased an ultrasonic humidifier to set up as a fogger per some of the other posts on dendroboard.

Unfortunately, I don't have a drain due to the concrete slab I built over. My plan is to make a bit of a slope with the drainage layer so I can siphon out any excess water buildup. I'll be testing the system a bunch to keep the humidity up while avoiding too much excess water.

For the lighting, I'm just using 8 CFLs in addition to the two skylights and window. I believe the space is large enough that there won't be much heat gain from the window, it faces east, but I'll be watching. Three of the bulbs are 2700k and the other five are 5500-6500k (can't quite remember off the top of my head).
