Does anyone use an ultrasonic misting system with their herp vivarium? any suggestions regarding this matter? Also, has anyone developed a solution to preventing fogging of the front glass pane other than double glazing?
I have settled on the mist king I think unless someone knows why I shouldn't? What about removing excess heat? I am concerned that will be my biggest challenge... does misting affect the temperature? I am considering some sort of coller for the water table... any ideas? Am I posting things right? Never been on a forum before... (etiquette?) Thanks a million.

If you have true mist and not water drops then yes you can use your misting system to cool off your viv if you couple the mist with fans. I was looking to find a way to cool my viv also and actually found a way to use a small water cooler unit (the ones the large bottle of water goes on top of ) with the element part submerged in a compartment in my sump to cool the water and also cool the viv. I didn't find it very efficient and I think there's better results to be had with misting combined with fans blowing at the same time. Reduces the temp in the viv quite fast.
Also, just having a fan push air against the front glass will keep it humidity-free.
Excellent! Thanks. I found a nice dual stage temperature controller I will use to control a sump heater and a fan About the fan across the front pane... would I use a second low volume fan just for that? Oh so much to consider (I love that!)
