Screen tanks

[jackxc925]

Okay, I'm getting a 100-gal screen tank, But I am worried about humidity and getting mold on my walls, should I use plastic wrap on the outside or something?

What do you mean by mold on the walls?  I've never heard of that.

is it mold inside the tank going up the glass?

I mean when I mist the screen enclosure, the mist will go through the creen and get on the walls, causing mold spores

aquarium backing can be taped to the screen or to your walls. do not rest the cage directly against the wall, at least a foot of breathing room.

i get clear plastic drop cloths(used to cover things while painting) cut them to size and tape them to the outside of the screen cage, leaving only the top and front open.  works perfect and doesnt look bad as long as you do a good job cutting the plastic.

That's a good idea! How well does it hold the humidity?

Are you talking about a 100 gal. reptarium? I have one also and I got a 100 gal. LONG softtray for the back, which helps (also have one for the bottom but it isn't LONg it's the TALL one). For the sides, I'm going to do somehwat like what Br0sk did, but with some cheap shower curtain.

i do the drop cloth thing also.  use clear ones and you can still see through them pretty good too. cut it accurately tape it up and it looks good. keeps humidity up pretty high and will set you back about a 1.50$ its a great solution. good luck!

While I will do that to my reptarium, it won't be for the cresties. Don't know what I'll put in there. Maybe a pair of those Jamaican Giant Anoles "max_power" is going to sell on pangea. That's if I can sneak them past my dad...lol!
