Hello,


Thanks for the link and thanks to Alex for the article.

Quick question, next to getting the mirror acclimated tube currents are the next biggest issue for newts.

But there are never any holes in the tube or fans on the side of the tube above the mirror to remove the thermal currents early. They are allowed to travel up the tube to exit. Pretty sure it would be easy to design a breather/extractor hole to allow hot air from the mirror to exit without allowing light in closer to the mirror cell.

Would this be useful? Or is the extra weight/time to add the feature in not worth it? By the time the mirror has acclimated enough to be used the currents have subsided anyway?


thanks
Steve
