Found some tubing at home but neither of the humidifiers I tried are strong enough to move mist through the hose. I started with a wide diameter to fit the humidifier base and reduced it to fit the vivarium. Bummer.

Guess who forgot to get the half-inch tubing. Sigh. Back to Home Depot. Probably have to post pics tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help. And awesome avatar pic, too!

Just back from Home Depot with tubes, hoses, adapters, and clamps. Very excited to get to work. I'll let you know how it goes!

Absolutely awesome! Thanks so much.

Hey WAMBO. How do you handle moisture and lighting? I just picked up a cool mist humidifier today, and I'm going to fit it with a hose to run into the setup (a Reptibteeze that'll have the sides and back covered with plastic). I've been cautious with misting as-as, because I'm nervous about...

I hadn't thought of that. Not a bad way to go. Thanks!

No worries. My concern comes from the fact that the water is dripping down a whole bunch of different leaves along the way from the top of the enclosure to the bottom. If one leaf or branch moves too far, it changes the direction of the water's path and where the droplets land.

Sorry, do you mean cover the sides permanently, or just for mistings?

I've used misters for amphibians, but they're primarily in glass enclosures, so the spray is contained. Sounds silly, but how do you keep the water from misting everything withing range of the screen enclosure?

Hi all. Has anyone had any luck setting up some sort of channel for a drip system? I'm thinking of hot-gluing the leaves on a plastic vine into a long "V" to try to direct the water into a potted plant at the bottom of the enclosure. This way, I can secure the vine to branches on the way down...

Juvenile veiled, tired of, but tolerating, my constant picture-taking.

I added a pothos and was going to put it behind a piece of bark, but, like you said, it just kinda blends in...

Guess who just ordered a boatload of neodymiums! I'll let you know how they work out.

I second JaniP's comment!! Pure genius.

Wow! Looks great!

The general consensus seems to be that waterfalls are bad due to the bacteria factor. Is it possible to set up a dripper in such a way that it will also water the plants, or is there going to be too much overflow? I'm interested in knowing if there's a way to avoid drilling into the bottom of...

Ah, spell check...a blessing and a curse!

H e Hey there, thanks for the info. Sorry about all the screw ups on my posts today. I'm (obviously) new to the whole forum posting thing. Maybe one of the moderators can delete some of my screw ups! Thanks again!

Sounds good, too. This brings up another question. Do you "hide" your pots or try to blend them in? If so, how?

Thanks for the input!
