i still get way too much humidity. i put a pc fan hooked up to an adapter, and it seemed to help a little fo a short amount of time. i turn on my sun glow bulb during the day to get rid of some of it and it does but at night get gets to almost 100% humidity before i mist. i need to mist to feed my crestie. i try to spray less but now my plants are starting to go. any thing else i can do other then get a second fan?

Would like to see a pic of the tank to be able to see what the problem is exactly. but sounds like the humid air has no means of escape and the fan is just pushing the humid air around the tank as it builds up, working almost like a pump insted of a fan. is there an exhaust vent or way to draw in fresh air? is your tank an AGA?

the fan pushes air out of the tank. its an exo-terra 18x18x24. i use a peat moss substrate with a few live plants
it looks similar to this... has a couple small pothos and the peace lilly id dead!. its comming out this weekend and be replaced possibly by bamboo if i can take care of the humidity. cork bark is behind the fake pot plant to the left
