DIY automatic misting system

[herpocrite27]

I found this site that has a design for a DIY automatic misting system, it seems like it work well and it is very cheap to build. Automated Chameleon Misting System
I was thinking about using an electric pump instead of the handpressurized pump, but I am having a hard time finding one that would have the correct pressure for a cheap price. I was wondering if you could use a fish tank anirato pump? My guess is no, but I thaught I would ask anyway. Let me know your ideas or what you think of the plans.

you did not post the plans, but luckily many of our members are very familiar with them... they're good. the pumps are not cheap... a few hundred... most any other type of pump will not work. the only other way i've seen is to hook up an elaborate system including a nice r/o system and a holding tank to your house plumbing... kinda ridiculous for 1 viv... also chlorine may have to be considered.

use those plans... they're fine... i may have another link to other plans floating around somewhere... but i'm stalling with cleaning up 3 of my pc's currently... so who knows where it is... could be in a notepad file for all i know. besides it's the same plans basically.

Is this a duplicate thread? I could have sworn I responded to or at elast read this earlier... If so, I'll merge them...
