hey kosh,
never need the humidity dome! let your leaves starve themselves all they like, it'll just get ya roots quicker.
and with the styrofoam or any alternative to the lid-- just make sure you cut your holes in some way so that you'll be able to remove clones with minichunk rootballs, cause they sure won't want to come back up through those 1/4" holes.
in my case, i got tired of clones getting stuck in stasis in soil or rockwool, since it's winter here and maintaining ideal temps in either of those 2 mediums is far more tricky.
to keep water at the ideal temperature, you could also use an ordinary heating pad that you'd buy in a pharmacy or at Walmart, although most of them automatically shut off after an hour or so.
just keep the heating pad underneath the storage bin[s] and turn it on 5 times a day or so.. in the summer this might hardly be necessary.
lots of people who make actual aero-sprayers inside a larger cloning tub, find that the submerged pump that runs the sprayers heats the water perfectly into the mid70s. there are plans to build a large 60site aero cloner for around $50, rather than the $300 you'd pay at the hydro store.

i don't know why i chose those particular words;
they're odd, and i like the ambiguity..
do i aspire to heaven or hell?
