theres some good ones shown on youtube vids, I made mine from a crane cool mist...the biggest thing to look for is a model that the fog exits from a small area or hole that you could attach a tube to, you can get clear tubing at lowes or home depot, I used 3/4 inch tube and it works well...

Those humidifier foggers actually fog the entire terrerium though, don't they? I'm looking for a low lying fog, something that sits the fog right on the water. I hate admitting this on this board but I got a halloween mister and it works wonderfully. It only cost me $15. Sure it changes colors but the fog rolls right down my waterfall just like I wanted. You may be able to pick one up this time of year at a local party store.

I tried one of those as well, and despite what others said it's not gonna electrocute your fish...if it did they wouldn't put them in those halloween things cause they would shock you too, my fish swam all around it for hours not problem, but the fog just sat on the water and didn't help the humidity, which is what I thought you were wanting, if you just want a visual then the little ones would work fine, the humidifier is simply a larger version and kind of blows the fog out so it fills the whole tank, since it variable I can make it anything from a light fog to something you can see 6 inches through...I am also in central PA near Lebanon and can say its been very dry here lately, if I don't keep a light fog going the humidity drops from about 76-78% all the way down to 50-60% in a hurry, those are from a cheap gauge but it does show quite a difference...most of my top is open to prevent the glass from fogging up which is probably why it drops so fast, also the heat lamp makes a big difference, it holds humidity without the fog overnight just fine
