LOL. I’m trying to propagate enough for all my aquariums. Classico is one part of the recipe. There’s tiny units down to 30-40 bucks but I’m not sure if they will handle the room. I have an exhaust for temperature but I thought about putting it on a timer to go off maybe go off twice an hour to dump and exchange air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same LOL I actively have 3 types of pothos propagating at all times for all my aquariums, my wife was so tired of me using pasta sauce jars so I finally got a little plant prop station that just has 3 nicer looking jars with a wood holder.

I will have to do some more research. Draining it is very smart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draining it is very smart actually, even if the particular dehumidifier you get doesnt have the option, there is nothing to say you couldnt put a bulkhead fitting with a hose barb on it, and slap that onto the dehumidifiers water bucket. since you plan on a timer, it still wouldnt run 24hrs non stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevesFishTanks Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) This is the dehumidifier that I use. I plumb the drain with this fitting and some adapters to get it to drain thru 1/4" RO tubing to my tank drains.
