Hahaha, thanks Paul, I try to keep carnival folk out of my tanks though, doesn't really seem to be enough room for them.
Is a fan an absolute necessity?
Just saw ChrisK's thread on a diy humidifier on Dendroboard. Seems almost simple enough that I could do it, lol. In any case, doing that would be a serious cost reduction compared to the mist king system. It seems that it would probably be better for terrestrial plants, but will it provide enough moisture for any aquatics? Also, if potential froggy tank inhabitants were to be using the mist for the drinking water, will that be safe for them? Crap, this is really turning out to be much more complicated than it all seemed at first blush... Dendroboard is also making my head spin, between all the info and the eye candy. I'm going a little bit crazy, lol.
Mellow, the issue with the eggcrate, is that I have no way of cutting it precisely. The best I have is the grinding tool on the dremel, and even that is pretty shoddy, doesn't leave a clean edge. Seems like building a false bottom, at least for the side pieces, needing a clean edge would be super important.
