Humidifiers

[guppygal]

We raise poison dart frogs and most of our tanks use humidifiers from Walgreens. We put them on a timer to run 15 minutes about 4 times a day and that's plenty to keep the plants watered and the frogs happy -

Kristi, do you have any pics of how you have them set up? I'm tring to figure out how to make an efficient large scale fogger for multiple tanks.

Check out youtube for all sorts of examples. Here is one link to get you started.

I have the humidifier pix for the 150g vivarium - let's see if we can make sense of them. Otherwise, I think the Youtube videos would probably be more helpful.

The first pix is the back of the tank. The black hose on the left leads from the top of the tank hood to the base where the humidifier sits(2nd pix).

The last pix shows where the humidifier enters the hood, takes a turn to avoid the center glass crosspiece, and then it goes back down behind the background. What you can't see is that there is a long piece of pvc pipe tee''d off down and behind the cork background. The pipe is actually several sections connected together with T's where the vertical part of the tee is inserted into a hole in the cork back ground. We covered the holes with black screen so that the frogs wouldn't go exploring. The T's are evenly spaced across the back of the tank, about halfway down. I'd rather have them up higher, but I couldn't convince the hubby to move 'em up. They still work just fine. The bromeliads near the humidifier outlets always have water in them. I have to spray the others -

Lost? Yeah, me too, but that happens....

Lets fire that puppy up and see a video of it working!

If you search YouTube for the user Guppygal, there are several videos of my tanks and some other stuff. WARNING - THIS IS A MIXED TANK AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR THE WEAK OF HEART. Otherwise, it's a great tank and has been in existence for 8 years without any issues whatsoever ~
