    If you say me not to use a fogger, I won't use it.
    I can't buy MistKing (it would be very expensive to ship to Spain ) but I can buy Monsoon or another cheaper in reptile shops

    Why should I cover the top ? it is supposedly for keeping humidity but if I got a rain system, could I not to cover? I would avoid growing bacteria and fungus

    Last, I don't understand how you make draining. Are there photos or videos?
    Hi ,
    You will be very happy with the 45 x 60 ! It was a great by. Exciting !
    BTW -I believe mist king is a Canadian Co. You can buy directly from them. You don't have to purchase from a co/ in the us.

    I didn't say not to use a fogger. I have never used one ( "don't know") . Maybe other members have experience with foggers and exo tops.

    Most mist systems use 1/4" tubing --- the tubing slips into an opening in the back of the exo top made specifically for tubing and cords.
    I would have to say that if the tops are not sealed - you will likely have difficulty keep the humidity high enough.

    Sorry- I do not have a video of the drilling. I had a glass guy do it for me. I found someone to do it for $20 /per tank.
    I removed the screens and cut the glass for the tops. But was not going to mess with the drilling.

    I believe A FF search will find you instructions, however. Drilling is not necessary but simply a convenience.

    Ok! I have seen Monsoon 109€ and MistKing for 139€. I think I'll buying Monsoon except you say to me there is a big quality difference.
    About draining, I read about a PVC with holes that raised on the layer (of course covered) which you could siphone or something like that to remove extra water.

    Hello,

    " I read about a PVC with holes that raised on the layer (of course covered) which you could siphone or something like that to remove extra water."

    Sorry- My dart tanks are not set up this way. My tanks drain - as mentioned -from a hole drilled into the back-lower glass- of the tanks. The hole is positioned at the upper level of the hydro.

    " I think I'll buying Monsoon except you say to me there is a big quality difference."

    We have not discussed Monsoon products --specifically ?
    I have never used Monsoon brand products , so I have zero experience with them. Sorry

    You could post a ? regarding Monsoon products? Maybe other members might have some tips for you ?
