Before adding the canopy, all I had was a screen and 3 Radions on a rail. I think the ATO lasts about the same amount of time even after adding the canopy, maybe a day less since I also added 4 x T5s. I don't see any changes in the humidity level.I stumbled on this build on YT and now I find it here It looks really cool! I'm thinking about doing something like this. I have quite high humidity in my house and I think that one of the main reasons is my tank since its open top. But I do not want to put a glass lid on it because I might lose light in the tank and i think that it must be cleaned constantly which is not something i see myself do. Plus gas exchange will be an issue... But since water vapor rises upwards, in my mind most of it will be 'caught' inside the canopy and not escape into my living room. In your experience do you think that that is true? Do you need to top of less frequently? And is there less humidity in your house because of this canopy? Lot;s of questions, I know
Have you considered using a dehumidifier, I wonder if it'll help during the days when the humidity level is high.
