The standard Moisture Muncher tubes fit perfectly into the front right hand side of the FIX (and I assume Recsea) housings. It is as if the channel there was made for them. The small size silica packs will fit there also. Since the housing is aluminum and the S90 does not seem to run especially hot, I have had zero fogging issues.

These are the ones I am using:

They are available many places including most retail dive stores. They can be rejuvenated many times by placing them in a tub of Moisture Rid which can be gotten at any hardware store. When depleted they turn pink, ready to go they should be bright blue. Once pink set them in the Moisture Rid and in a few days they will be bright blue and ready to go again.

Trust me, these will fit the FIX90 housing and I am pretty sure the Recsea95. The new FIX95, do not know.

They also fit perfectly, exactly as pictured in your photo (thanks!), in the FIX S95 housing. Any of your links to the product are excellent places to order or just check your LDS or Scuba Toys.

I don't know if they carry one that'll fit in the very compact Fix or RecSea housings, but for my S90/Ike setup and those using OEM housings, you're sure to find something here.

A quick look see of that page and there is nothing on it that will work in the FIX/Recsea housings. There is no extra room in the housing except for the little slot I have the MM tube setting in since the housing is form fitting. There are a few small paper tube type that will also fit into the slot but they have to be small and you risk having the edge of the packet pinched between the housing and front of the camera which could cause problem with control operation at the least and possible damage to the camera or housing when the vault like door is closed.

I think the tubs of moisture remover I am talking about and using to rejuvenate the Moisture Munchers (or other similar silica packets) is called Damp Rid and it is commonly found at hardware stores, Home Depot type places and even grocery stores.
