Wow, you got a very beautiful tank.

I have a question for you. You put a fogger but you didn't seem to have water on the bottom of your tank. How did you put your fogger and how does it work?

Sorry, I'm way late on responding to this.

The fogger is an ultrasonic humidifer that I have plumbed through the rear of the tank. I don't have a picture of it but I keep meaning to take one showing everything under the tank (there's not much). I like this setup a lot better than the kind that need a water feature to work.

In the mean time, I added a whole boatload of resurrection ferns to the tank to use as a background. They were still acclimating in this picture but you get the idea

Ah I didn't know that there was also a fogger that didn't need water. Mine needed water and after a year stopped working. What is the name of your fogger's company?

"wal-greens" special haha. It's just a general personal humidifier used for adding a bit of humidity to an extra dry room. They look similar to this:


I just removed the directional thing and rigged together some PVC pipe and some tubing and voila, instant fogger for about $30.

I've been using the same one since my first vivarium in 2006. Whenever it stops working I just scrub the parts with some distilled water and the brush it comes with to clean it. I also make sure to only used distilled water through it to avoid mineral deposits.

Very interesting Jason but I don't understand exactly how you fixed this fogger to your tank. Is it possible to show us a picture of your installation?

[VicSkimmr]

Sure! I can't promise I'll remember right away but I'll definitely take one.
