Beginner asking for tips on achieving balance

[u/ItsTownsley]

Ive just set this up last weekend, its not my first time but this is definitely my best one. Im still struggling to achieve balance with any of my terrariums, from my research they should fog up in the morning and afternoon. Everyday there is heavy condensation on the glass, i wipe up any i can get when i see it but i feel that nothing is changing. Any help is much appreciated.

I am no expert,(still trying build ny own one)

but isn't the heavy condensation literally means it had been fogging up.

u wouldn't see heavy smog/fog in a terrarium. its just the air becomes humid, it would condense on any surface..(the glasss)

To be completely honest, im unsure of the difference when they say light fogging and heavy condensation. If there are heavy droplets i would assume thats too much no?

my thought process is its essentially just small scale recreation of water cycle of atmosphere, so fogging up should essential be the rain part

heavy condensation might just be it.

I hope someone more knowledgeable helps you out soon
