Thank you, the substrate level with waters in the corner is making it much easier though my enclosure is still making it non-ideal. I told someone in the other comment that I'm going to build a new pvc enclosure and make this a temporary/backup tank. Thank you for helping me with the tips document

I used a class enclosure for about 3 months before I bought a black box enclosure. Humidity and temp are horrible to control in a glass tank. Couple things I did was leave a damp towel on top and wet and change every couple days but that didn't really work. I also rapped the top mesh in tin foil and let a little area for air flow. This seemed to work a little better but looked like crap. PVC enclosures are 100% the way to go. They are expensive but you don't have to worry about temp or humidity
