Too little airflow can encourage persistent condensation, stale air and overly wet substrate, while too much ventilation can dry the enclosure too quickly. These 45mm push-fit vents let you add deliberate ventilation points while still maintaining a damp refuge elsewhere in the tub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger tubs, vents can be positioned on opposing sides to encourage gentle cross-ventilation. Always monitor the enclosure after changing ventilation and adjust watering or vent quantity if the substrate begins to dry faster than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3D-printed 45mm push-fit vent bodies fitted with \u003cstrong\u003efine metal mesh\u003c\/strong\u003e.
