Question ? about T care

I will soon be getting 3 Ts. Acanthroscurria geniculata (Giant Brazillian Whiteknee), Avicularia avicularia (French Guyana Pink Toe) and Brachypelma boehmi (Mexican Fire Leg)! I am really excited. They are coming from Arachnomania. I decided to get them soon as shipping would be better while the weather is still ok. I have everything set up for them but want to make sure everything is down pat before I get them. Anyhow, my questions:
1. I have read allot of care sheets and a book. There are ALLOT of inconsistencies. What should the humidity be for the Fire Leg? I've read everywhere from 50% to 80%.
2. For the pink toe, who need lots of ventilation, how often do you mist? If I mist in the morning, the ambient humididty doesn't stay at 80% for long, it eventually drops to 60% and stays there. I just don't want to mist too often because I want to avoid mold. The ambient humidity in my home is 50%. The ambient humidity for the slings is 80% and stays.
3. Substrate. I have a mix of vermiculite and cocnut husk for the pinktoe with some live plants to keep up humidity and vermiculite for the slings. Is this ok?
4. The ambient temp. for the pinktoe is 78 and 80 for the slings. Is this ok?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to make sure everything is running well before the come home! Thanx in advance.
Danielle
