Hi everyone, I currently have 3 veitchii x platychilla (mother plant and 2 basals) and a hamata x sibuyaensis in this section of my rack as shown. I currently mist it often and put a ice bottle by the hamata x sibuyaensis about 2 to 3 times a day. Anyone can tell me what can I use to turn this section of the rack into a simple hl or intermediate set up, I also have an empty 5 gallon tank that i can use. Thanks!

For proper night time temp drops it will take more than one frozen bottle. You should probably make about 6 or 8 and that would help a lot. I have a 20 gallon terrarium and to cool it for a good chunk of the night I use 5 rubbermaid blue ice packs and a couple frozen Gatorade 32oz bottles
