    Default what kind of automatic mister/fogger system does everyone use?

    I'm wanting to get an automatic mister.fogger system but am reading all sorts of mixed reviews on the available products. What do you guys recommend? I'm looking for something that could keep my white's tree frog terrarium humid enough and that could also run long enough for a weekend if I were to go camping, etc. Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Laura

    Mist king is THE misting system. Most professional breeders in the hobby use it to maintain numerous tanks. You buy a 5 gallon pail from a home improvement store and it feeds off of that. It can run a long time depending on how often you set your timer. Timer is sold separately I believe. I've done the research and this one comes up aces ahead of the rest. The Downside is its very pricey about a hundred bucks for their lowest model but it runs 10 misting heads so you can do 10 small tanks or 3-5 larger tanks.

    In Spain there are several webs that sell them, but for me, Exo Terra Monsoon is a great system. In addition, its price is so variable. I've found it for 100€. It works until 2 hours misting according the Exo Terra specifications.=)

    I have to agree spend the money on the mistking. I spent the extra money and it was money well spent. The timer comes with the ultimate mistking system and I can't speak highly enough of mistking as a company and their products!

    another HUGE plus to the mistking setup is that their pumps can be run dry indefinitely without damaging themselves. That is worth the $100 just by itself.
