Default correct air flow

hi being new to vivarium construction,i'd like some help. the viv that i am using is a exo terra 24x18x24 the viv has only been set up for 1 week i have egg crate base,clay balls,membrain,living soil with water fall and short stream.
i have sealed the top mesh with glass leveing a gap of 30mm at the front of the viv is this in the right place to keep the front glass clear or should it be at the rear for best air flow.hope to sort plants this weeked and dart frogs in 1/2 mounths if set up has matured.

front is good for front glass... if it is not sufficient then maybe a fan drawing air out in the back top... you can put a canopy over that so as to not lose moisture and recycle the air also... it just needs to move across the surface!

you're doin fine so far.
