Hmmm, this is quite a small aerator. You will need the heavy duty one for like 100 gallons and a fine airstone. Ir maybe use a cheap powerhead. Mine raised 30% when I used the HD aerator.

Edit: How big is your terrarium anyway?

Wow, that's pretty big for this humidity gadget. My suggestion is to get a powerhead instead of the aerator.

would it not be cheaper to just get a cool air humidifier?

It probably would but then it would drop your temps also if that's not a prob. They have warm mist ones too.

Or just use the tray method. I just did a terrarium setup this weekend with the tray method and my humidity is constant 70%. Added my pop bottle humidifier and went up to 89%.

i think i am using the tray method. but i have a question about it. if i just set out like 4 trays with stone in it and put it on the shelf below my plants would that do anything? (the shelf if a metal grid) or do the plant have to be on the stones?

Both of your method should work. My method is I cut a piece of the grid stuff that is used in building ventilation[you can buy it in Home Depot or Rona] and then place the grid in the tray. The purpose of this is to have water in the tray while the pots are not getting waterloged. farm1.static.flickr.com/201/500740234_4c4367609b_b.jpghb
