    Increasing Humidity

    I'm going to start a lowland nep tank ( just got an amp) and I was wondering what you people use to raise humidity for your terrariums. Any recommendations for foggers? I have a repti fogger but I heard bad reviews so thinking of getting something better.

    Question for those experienced with ultrasonic foggers...

    I've been debating about adding one of these to my nep tent for some time now, as it's an (relatively) inexpensive alternative to an automatic misting system. However, my first, and only, experience with these has constantly been a warning siren in my head. Years ago, I used an ultrasonic...

    Highland Grow Tent AC + Humidity Issues

    Hi All, I have recently set up a highland tent. I have a window mount AC cut into the side of the tent and a bucket humidifier with 8 single disc pond foggers circulating back and forth from the tent similar to Kyles basement setup.

    Troubleshooting Ultrasonic Fogger

    Good morning everyone! Well, not so good for me. Last night when my fogbox was suppose to turn on, the fan clicked on right on time, but the ultrasonic fogger didn't. The water level was fine, but even the little red indicator light wasn't even on! This morning I replaced the little...

    Ultrasonic foggers - Whats the purpose?

    What is the purpose of ultrasonic foggers? Presumably the humidity within a terrarium will already be high, so I would imagine that a fogger wouldn't add much to it. The only thing I can think of is they would have a evaporative cooling effect, but would need running frequently to maintain this.

    Terrarium germs?

    I have a question - Do you think that an ultrasonic fogger in a terrarium could expose people to germs?  I'm basing this on the fact that large (room-type) ultrasonic foggers have to be cleaned out periodically to avoid microbial build-up that would then be sprayed right into the room. Well, it...
