Could just buy more of those I guess, two to suck in and two to blow out. Small dust particles would go through, I suppose, but that could help. <br /><br />Algae is definitely related to 100% humidity. Current plan is to test it for a year, because I want to see how it affects on growth patterns, trunk thickening, leaf size and internode length, pests, mold, etc. I have been happy with 80% humidity in my previous setups. I could also open boxes for an hour every dry, to let things dry out.

Sever...Pity, the problems you listed are annoying:(<br />Several things came to my mind, just thinking out loud:<br /><br />1. Dust on the top glass in the light bulbs area. You have fans blowing air around. If there are walls around that area and fans are the only air entrance/exit the filters to the fan which sucks the air in might reduce the dust perhaps even substantially. The cloth filters (to cut out) are pretty cheap and they would last for a long time. Filters are easy but making all that walls around might be annoying, I understand :(<br /><br />2. Algae. I guess they come when the water drops leak down and can't evaporate. What if the humidity would be kept around 90% ? Then perhaps also aerial roots wouldn't be so intensive. In my shelf I have humidity much lower than in your case (60-80%) and I don't have any water droplets nor algae gathering. It would be probably nicer to have it slightly higher though. I think then also your markings on the top glass would not appear.<br /><br />Perhaps these don't make sense as then the whole idea of very high humidity enclosure is not what it is but maybe experiment would give the best answer.<br /><br />SlavenTatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10813076520571815168noreply@blogger.com
