This is a fine set up., it looks to have really decent light and the correct substrate. You can leave the lid open a couple hours a day once it pitchers to allow it to catch, but it will do fine even without catching so long as the substrate is kept about the moisture level of a wrung out towel (remember to make sure the water is \<70 TDS) and ten hours bright light even a couple direct light.
