I have been fighting a battle with humidity every day in my terrarium that is filled with live plants. I have removed plants, trimmed plants back, raised and lowered them but the end result is the same High humidity (80-90%) for hours that will not dissipate.
I installed this at the top of the terrarium sucking out air, forcing air flow:

I have it running 12 hours a day but it struggles to lower the humidity.
I have been running some test with a 12VDC fan inside the terrarium towards the bottom. I have it running at 9VDC and it will remove the humidity as well as dry up any standing water at the bottom fairly quickly.
Does anyone else use a fan in such a capacity and what orientation works best for you?
Does a Horizontal direction across the bottom provide better air flow than a vertical one that pushes air into the bottom?
Does the breeze pose any issues with a cham? I will only have it running during the day and eventually tie it into my controller so it only comes on when the humidity has reached a certain level.
I will also need to shield it from water, as well as make sure my Cham can't get into it if he falls. (Gee, that's a scary thought )
