Super rain mist system

[crazysnakedude]

does anyone have one? i want to create a mist for my PDF enclosure. i was going to buy this but then thought....could i not just buy the "spray nozzles" and attach them to a normal pipe attached to a normal pump?
it seems like such a simply idea, thought id try it before i spent all that money on the system.

I have one on my pdf set up and its very good. The nozzles need quit high pressure to produce the fine mist. The unit it self is a bit noisy.

you can see it attached to the top of there viv I did change the pipe that was supplied as it was to soft and the joints did not hold under the pressure

It does come with a strainer so you can use the water from the reservoir but I found the tannins form the water stained every thing, so I just use bottled water and once a week drain down the water level from my external filter inlet. This also helps keep the water quality up.

My system only comes on for 1 min, 3 times in a 24 hour cycle but the water going through the substrate stains the water you could siphon the water off once a week. I opted for the external filter as I do not have to disturb the viv as it is a eco system including live plants, frogs and tropical wood lice..... and it is easier to maintain the filter.

I have an Ehiem eco pro 300 and a rena fillstar Xp2 both will work with water as shallow as 6cm. I wired the in let pip to the bottom of one of the legs on my false floor so it could not float to the surface and take in air.
