I live in San Diego. Not too humid.....

OK....not planning on taking it anywhere....I sort of eliminated that possibility anyway by getting the FULL tower...

Wouldn't an algicide, or maybe a filter (like a fish tank) help or eliminate that??

How powerful? I have an Eheim 1048, would that work for a 2-3 ft. bong?

Of course, it's evaporating....

Thinking about using a pelt, but there's a certain amount of expense and effort involved in that too...neoprene, condensation, power supply, wiring, etc. Here the expense would only be about $20-$30 (ok more, if I need a new pump), and with a pelt it would be considerably more. Now I'm not expecting to et pelt temps with a bong or anything like that, but I'm thinking that it might be cooler than my current setup (42°C @ 30°C - ambient).
Thanks for the info though.
