Hi, first post and all.

I am small scale keeper like most looking for ways to cut back on some costs. My idea involves a medium-large scale misting system for breeding.

The setup is much like like a fish aquarium with a large sump collecting/filtering/pumping the water back into a misting bar.

Enclosures are just typical rubbermaids with drilled and plumbed bottoms.

I could hook the rain on a timer and let it "rain" for however long a day.

I am thinking you could do 3-5 rubbermaids (50-90 quarts) and use a 30-40 gallon sump running with RO and if needed a UV sterilizer. Water would run through a sock filter to trap any debris or solid matter.

I have all of the equipment but the pvc pipes I need to run.

What are the obvious cons to this setup?

Any other advice? Or should I just have a large 75 gallon sump pumping water and the drain to a large bucket to just dump the water?
