Thanks for the tip! The plumbing mods sound great -- I was thinking of something along those lines but was not sure (having never worked with a humidifier) if it would have enough *umf* to work.



I currently own a Bionaire Clear-Mist humidifier, 2 gallon I think, which I picked up from a second-hand shop in unused condition. (It's an older model, but was just clearly never turned on.) I'm running it now to test the function and it seems to be working just great, in a regular room. The vent that disperses the moist air is round and about 2" across -- perfect for a decent sized PVC pipe, I should think. I hadn't considered keeping the device up high, outside the enclosure -- this may well solve my problems! (The current humidifier is coded to run for 25 hours at maximum, before a refill is needed. I can easily work a refill into my daily routine, or even do another modification that connects the current tank to a larger reservoir of water that "feeds" it as the tank level lowers -- keeping it at a constant "full".



I'll look into the humidifier you've recommended as well, and do some compare and contrast. If what I've got will work, I may stick with that for now since I picked it up for nothing (and therefore can afford to mess it up if my mods don't work!)
