I like that! I've seen a fog in other systems, is that how it is done? I was in the cloud forests in Coast Rica, it reminds me of that... awesome! I might hook up a misting kit, although the system is doing great without one. The fog is pretty sweet though. I do like the natural look.

That's how it was recommeded to me,I'm sure there's plenty of other adaptions as well as the equipment made specifically for vivariums. I'm using a Kaz ultrasonic cool mist himidifier, like 28 bucks after shipping off ebay, and I want to have it at the base of the waterfall to try for the "spray" effect from the water crashing down. I plan to run it on the lowest setting to hopefully get the effect I'm after,if it still puts out too much then I will get a small personal humidifier for office use or car use. I thought it would look cool and on a low setting won't spike the humidity levels quickly or fog out the whole tank that way I could get some good viewing time and enjoy it.

zoo med also makes a fogger. i would think it would fog a little less giving you more viewing time before the whole environment is fogged up.

stimpy has one... you could ask her how it looks/works. i think they're only about $30 anyway.

Thanks I'll have to check into it,30.00 is what I'll be spending anyway so if it can give me the viewing effect I want that would be perfect,only thing would be is wether or not the fog is cool or hot.

[beckdg]

i think it's hot. hiding the lead somewhere tucked in so it has to travel an inch or 2 before being able to reach any animals should keep it safe though.

I'm doing some work tonight to the vive, it should come out pretty cool... there's a reptile show this weekend, maybe I can get the rest of my plants.

Awesome Reefer,look forward to more pics. I think I'm gonna start on my waterfall today. Does anyone know what the crate stuff used for the false bottom is called? I know its for drop ceiling's for certain light applications but I can't find it online in lighting or ceiling materials.

just go into the lows or home depot look in the lighting seciton you will find it.. sometimes the sales assocaites know what you are talking about sometimes they are clueless

[RudeReefer]

Yep, Home Depot has it for sure. And dont forget the wire ties!
