You do have an empty fish tank with lit and heater formica? you could knock up what I've done in 10 minutes, again its temporary but will be perfect conditions wise.

I've got n aquarium but it's only small and no heater

We'll, setups not working as great as I wanted it to. Hardly any new fungus growth now. Gone down in size if anything.
I need an aquarium heater, if anybody has one pm me ASAP. I'm looking to use the same setup as Deansie does. I have everything apart from the heater.

Handy that Christmas is just around the corner, Marco. I suspect that Santas sledge may have some pipes and heaters sticking out of a sack or two!

I hope so as that would be one pretty handy Santa!

(So no ones told Marco the truth about Christmas.)

Yes Marco, you should be really good between now and Christmas day!

The whole container is peat and they have adjusted it to their liking. They were moved ages ago. The fungus does grow, just very very slowly. That's why I want to make a setup identical to yours. Very easy to maintain and setup. I think the problem I'm having is keeping a constant temperature and humidity

And very funny Andrew

Do you have a pic if your full set up Marco?

I'll get one in the morning. It's basically just an acrylic container half full of peat with a heatmat on the side. It has all the problems you mentioned. When I open the lid it means the hot air escapes. It's hard to manage the air humidity and also the piping connecting to the outworld is too small. This is exactly why I want to use same setup as you just as soon as I get a heater
