Mist King Installation and Evaluation

[DonLisk]

I am guessing Hagen did not do long term testing with the Monsoons. I should hook mine back up and see how it functions just spraying the 12x12 I build a while back.

It was working fine, never perfect with the timers consistancy but it keep the dart viv going well.
Eric, at least they are supplying something but just wonder how long it will operate until its having issues again.

I am with you on that, Don. 100%. I know the new unit will end up showing another issue soon enough. But I won't wait. Mist King is on my list.

ON drilling glass. I have drilled several tanks, mostly for Saltwater. Keep the bit cool. plumbers putty to form a circle around the hole you want to drill, fill with water to keep the bit cool. Make sure to have some padding under the hole for when the glass pieces falls out. Keep your drill on a low torque setting and nice even drill speed. Start the hole on an angle and as it starts to make a groove, straight the drill to 90 deg angle. DO NOT push down on the drill, let the bit do the work. You can stop to make sure it is drilling fine and to add more water if need.

Look up some videos on drilling glass tanks to see what I mean.

Thanks Don. This information was just what I needed.

did you buy your bits from glass-holes? Thinking about getting a couple drill bits from there

Hi im in new zealand and we don't have any of this. but am looking to buy some in maybe.
Was just wondering if the misters come in 1/4 and 3/8in, and is there any benefit to having one over the other. may be looking at using up to 20 misters and was wondering if the 1/4 tubing would be able to supply enough water to all misters

Thanks Jason

DonLisk did you ever drill your 5/8" holes for the mistking nozzles? If so, how'd it go? Where did you get the bit? I'm going to need to do it as well
