Hi Pac man,
I have had a Mist King since December 11'.
I am very glad that I made the investment.
The consistent schedule ( using their seconds timer ) has done just what I expected it to do, which is to MAINTAIN the humidity.
Very simple to install and get going. I ordered directly from the company web-site. It is a very well run business!
In fact, when I placed my order he sent ( at no charge) a little part that he knew I was going to need but did not order , with a hand written note.
I split my tubing an forgot the little splitting connection. Then a month ago , I split it again to use in my 2nd enclosure. All is well.
The valves by the way are very adjustable.

It's not a super-fine mist, but ( in my opinion ) more like a fine rain. So, if you are looking for more of a fog ; it will not be like that.
I have to take a little peak in the morning to see where the frogs are ( I have red eyes).
I move the direction of the valve if it is pointing right toward a frog so that the frog does not get 'rained on' all day w/ distilled water!

In my 36" x 36 x 18 I have one double valve positioned up high and one single positioned lower over the water area.
In the 36x 18" x 24"? I have one double valve positioned about 3/4 of the way up.

Timer:
I mist in enclosures both for 14 seconds every 3 hours. It's actually quite a bit of water. I put a gallon of dis tilled water in the bucket about every 5-7 days.
I put a little aquarium heater in the bucket. It is set on 76 F. I found it was drooping the temp in the tank - It solved the problem of big temp. swings.

Funny story:
I have a kitty that chews everything. You name it ---he chews it--even electrical cords, iphone chargers, plastic bags.
He has swallow entire cat toys ! 3 times we had to x-ray his belly !!!!
Well, my little friend decided, one day, he wanted to chew through the mist tubing.
I came home to a very big mess!

Sorry to ramble !!!

Hope this helps, Lynn

i have the Ultimate System package. I bought it from Josh's Frogs since i won it in an auction at a great price. Plain and simple its awesome. Like said, easy to set up, all you really need is a 9/16 drill bit to drill a hole in your reservoir. When you set it up make sure you push the tubing completely inside the fittings, i didn't do so at first and when i turned it on i was getting leaks from all the fittings. Pushed them in further and problem solved. The seconds timer is awesome and very programmable. The mist is pretty fine in my opinion and any finer it would be fog. I have mine set up in a 10 gallon vertical with just one nozzle that goes off 4 times a day for 8 seconds. Keeps my humidity perfect for dart frogs. I'll be adding a 29 gallon to it soon which I'll hook up my other 2 nozzles on. The ultimate package comes with some stuff you may not think you need as i didn't either, but i ended up using most of it anyway. The tubing cutter is great, makes perfect cuts. The zip drip valve is a must if you ask me, worth it completely. Mister runs very quit, only really sound (once you secure the tubing) is the sound of the water coming out the nozzle.

As far as installing the nozzles if you are using glass tops you'll need to drill a 5/8" inch hole for the value nozzles, or if you are using a screen top they sell screen top wedges with holes in them already for easy secure install. Lynn i think mounts hers a different way, but i found drilling glass very easy if you take your time and do it right.

I don't think you'd be disappointed with a mistking, Marty (owner and developer) gives the best customer support you will ever get.
