TEMPERATURE & HUMIDITY IN YOUR BIOPOD
Temperature inside the Biopod is not constant: It is a gradient, going from the lowest temperature close
to the substrate to the highest temperature near the lights. This gradient is very important for any animal you will have,
as it will be able to find different temperature spots, like it would do in nature. The two temperatures displayed on your app
screen show the highest temperature in the tank (“Air temperature”, given by the humidistat, at the highest point of the
tank, near the LED Light) and the lowest temperature in the tank (“Ground Temperature”, given by the
NTC sensor, in the substrate or water).
The way your Biopod is scaped will impact the temperature and humidity.
If you add a lot of leafy plants, water and lots of moss, the humidity will be higher and the temperature
gradient not as substantial. If you have a few plants and no water, the humidity will be lower and
the temperature gradient stronger.

ADDING WATER TO YOUR BIOPOD
Please ensure that you have your front ventilation covered when pouring water inside
your unit. This prevents water from getting into the tubing/ventilation system of your Biopod.
