The starter pump can run 10 nozzles for as long as you want. I currently have 3 nozzles (runs fine) and will be doing eight total by the time I am done my setup. 4 per tank (2 of the EXO terra 36Wx18Dx36W). I expect that it should be fine to run all 8. The potential issue with adding more then...

depends on the pump you have. The starter only does 10. http://www.mistking.com/Starter-Diaphragm-Misting-Pump.html The ultimate can do 20. http://www.mistking.com/Standard-Diaphragm-misting-pump-with-zip-drip-valve.html The advanced can do 70...

Here is the tank almost complete... Still to add Hydro balls Reptisoil branches plants (both fake and real) I am waiting for everything to dry before I add the rest of that in... I did not leave much room for a laying bin so this will not be a permanent home for any chameleon...

As for the sump here is a pic: The item in the middle is a uv sterilizer. Pump is off to the left. This is T tapped to a ball valve such that I can control water flow to the tank by adjusting that valve. This setup will also make water changes much easier.

One concern I have is that the black silicone I was using was marine safe. Then on the forums i read that the Silicone II by GE was good, however it has mold free protection in it. Is this acceptable or not? Here is a pic:

Sorry everyone I got a little too carried away again. But here is what I did. Step 6&8: Once the background was Full I siliconed the branch where I wanted it. I then spray foamed both sides of the enclosure and allowed to dry. Step 7: For the plants I siliconed in a pot of similar size...

At this time I am unaware of any LED's that provide UVB... do you know the manufacturer and model number. If it does exist I want one..

watch for airflow... most glass terraiums have vents at the bottom to allow airflow. Since it appears yours does not (maybe I am wrong) I would add a pc fan to the top and turn it on/off once an hour or so with an arduino

No cables are in the direct path and have drips loops everywhere. It is messy for now but should prevent future issues. Thanks again

Why do you "need" to use a controller to maintain temps?

Zoo med also makes a dual LED/Flouscent fixture but it is more expensive than the sunray last i looked.

You can get the terrarium fixture it is basically the same house as the sunray fixture without the cost and UVB setup. This would allow you to adjust the height as needed and keep thing looking clean...

Ceramic heater also require the wire dome, otherwise too much heat builds up in them and they break. http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/wire_light.php

I would then use a fluorescent with a daylight heat source. I would not be turning the bulbs on and off throughout the day but rather adjusting the heights in the cage and wattages until you got what you wanted.

@Marty I would like to thank you for support. None of the parts were in the direct spray path. But I did not have drip loops. I have since corrected the issue. After opening the controller box and allowing to dry and resetting the controller everything is working now. This was not meant...

@broderp Since you are using a glass enclosure and misting. A humidifier into the terrarium might create too much humidity. If you wish to rely solely on the humidifier as a means of humidity I would advise against this and use the money towards a mist king.

Back the OP, LEDS are great, do not provide UVB. Ceramic heaters - I would only use at night if you area drops below 60 fahrenheit at night and then I would only use it as a heat source at night. I hate fluorescents. This is more because I was an electrician and dealing with ballasts and...

Tonight I came downstairs at 10:00Pm and my mist king was still running from 8:00PM... What the hell? It appears as if my seconds timer failed. Take this as a fair warning to all ensure that if the floor gets soaked no electrical can get to it... Because the tank was on a table and I had...

Zoomed also makes a screen cage with the front clear and LED's built into it...

the pump should not turn into a mold fest with what i'm trying to do... the tubing may... I will keep an eye on it
