Exo-terra monsoon

No there was nothing wrong with the water coming out of the tube. The unit has a quick connection for the line. You push down on the connection to insert the tube and to remove it you also push down on the connection and pull the line out. Since there is water in the line it will spill out when you pull the tube out. I never meant to infer that this was a fault of the unit.

I called on the unit today and they suggested I return it for an exchange with the retailer since that would be the quickest way to have one back in place. I'm going to call the shop and let them know. I want to leave the watre container in place and just swap the top section if possible since the rest is in place and a quick head unit swap would make it easy.

I unplugged the unit last night and when I plugges it in it went straight into the cycle mode and started a new cycle from that point.
It was in the off mode when I unplugged it so not sure why it went to cycle.

I have to say, a 12 second spray down with this in the morning puts my humidity to above 90 all day. Not bad.

I wonder if something just got messed up with the electronics and when you pulled the plug and powered down the system it reset itself. How did it run after the initial spray cycle?

Not sure, I'm going to set it up in the morning for 8 hour runs and for 20 seconds so when I get home it should just be going off.

[DonLisk]

Well, 13 hours and it has not cycled yet. Set it up at 8am to run every 12 hours so I'll have to road trip back to the store this weekend and hope they have one in stock to exchange it.

Don,

How is your replacement unit working? Mine is still working fine. Has anyone located a source for the extra noozles for the Monsoon? I would like to also mist my new 55 gallon viv which is just about completed.

[DonLisk]

The replacement is running fine so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I haven't heard anything on nozzles and was going to call Black Jungle since any 1/4 inch spray nzzle should work with the system.

I would think since it will operate up to 6 nozzles, Exo would offer up 4 and 6 nozzle splltters.

[DonLisk]

Mike.... Black Jungle informed me that Exo-Terra plans to have splitters and nozzles available by March... keeping fingers crossed.

I also changed my spray to every 4 hours and 20 seconds after seeing how damp Black Jungle kept their vivs. Just gotta pay attention to what plants are getting wet down so I don't over water the fern and air plants.
