That looks great! It's so clean and the plants look so healthy. Although, I'm curious why you don't run the fans 24/7?

This is fully enclosed? The back of it looks open

Nope, back is glass. There was an opening at the top - metal mesh lid, but I closed it with plastic glass piece to keep humidity in.

In a setup like this, should the fans run constantly, or should they be turned off at night when the temperature drops?

I run fans just to move air around and help make sure that humidity distributes through the tank. My large tank was without fan for a year and I didn't have any problems, but humidity was around 50%. With fan it went up to 55-60 %.
I don't find it necessary in my conditions to run it 24/7, but I don't have misting or drip system, and water by hands, so there is not much threat of a fungus or other nasty problems that would come up without fans 24/7.
