Foggers: the coolest looking way to increase humidity easily

Do these have minimum humidity settings? The humidity levels in our entire apartment bottomed out last winter and it was sometimes only 20-30%, which sucked for dry eyes and mucous membranes on humans (didn't have frogs back then). I'm worried the same thing will happen this year, it's already as low as 40% humidity and I'm having to mist my new WTFs more frequently, but White's like the humidity about 50-60% and shouldn't be kept higher then 70-80% for any length of time, when not breeding them, so want to make sure it doesn't get too high.

These specific foggers have a dial on them where you can turn the fog up or down. So you can adjust the amount, but it does not work like a thermomstat that sets it for an exact humidity. You could add the Zoo Med Hygrotherm, and that will control this fogger based on the humidity level. You can find that at our website too

Why don't you offer a package deal of a zoomed repute-fogger and a Hygrotherm HT-10 controller. Since you shouldn't have one with out the other.

Why shouldn't you have one without the other? Many people use the ZM fogger (or other foggers) for either looks, or just adding some humidity, but don't need to be super specific. While it is nice to have the Hygrotherm, it is definitely not necessary. There is a dial on the ZM Fogger, so you can manually adjust them. If you have a humidity gauge in your terrarium, you can adjust based on that reading. It is definitely not necessary to have the Hygrotherm.

Would the foggers work in a room vs a tank? I have African violets in my frog room (well actually frogs in my African violet room, lol) and they need more humidity than I'm getting from open bowls of water. I just don't want to much moisture that it collects on the walls, 50-60% is plenty.

You would need something bigger for a room. Walmart sells bigger humidifiers that work for rooms

I guess the control freak in me really likes it that I can set it up and not have to fiddle with a adjustment depending on conditions in the room that changes due to a lot of
variables like seasonal weather changes. Someone talking a shower, Someone boiling a pot of water for pasta.

I also like the HT-10 will control temperature also and do a automatic night time temperature drop.

I guess it is the little things.
