    Default preferred fogger

    I am having a cabinet built to support 3 exo terras and trying to deicide if I should plan for width for a fogger. The exo-terra ones I read on amazon are prone to breakage sometimes after a few months. I see other models but I don't know much about them. I am considering just the standard misting everyday like I'm doing. And I'm not crafty enough to build my own. Is there another popular fogger or should I just mist?

    I have used the zoomed fogger for a few years with no issues. Just rig up a tube that splits to all 3 tanks, turn it on, and it should fog them pretty well. Use distilled water, mineral buildup overtime can harm the fogger.

    Another option is a misting system. I suggest either exoterra monsoon or mistking, as both systems and be split to multiple tanks. Hope this helps!

    I was for a while there wondering what company made the zoomed fogger :-) Then I realised you meant zoo med. I'll see about what you said. How wide is the fogger? The dimensions I read look to be just over 6 inches. I'm just needing to accommodate for it for the cabinet that is being built soon. Thanks Bruce.

    Diff innately don't get an exo terra fogger. Mine broke in months and I replaced the disk but it broke again after a few months. Also it's supposed to switch off when not in the water but mine didn't and I picked it up and it was the most painful thing I have ever felt because since it's ultrasonic it heats up to what felt like 500 degrees.

    I hate exo terra and even more zoomed foggers. Get just regular home ultrasonic humidifier, get some pipes in a diameter needed, silicone, stick the tube in humidifier, silicone it in. Done! You can split tube if want to. That is very very simple. If I can do lol I'm sure anyone can do it Best part you can use tap water, no need to buy distilled.

    You have pacmans, for them misting systems are not the best to use, they tend to over saturate substrate. Fogger is a way to go.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    Yeah I had a problem with the substrate getting too moist, especially with tomato frogs. I was looking at this Honeywell Quiet Care Humidifier (HCM-645) : Humidifiers - Future Shop but if this is working through the humidifier and going through its parts and oils and what not are you sure its 100% safe?
