Thanks, I was bored and took a couple pics but was too lazy to use a tripod or shutter release.

Im new to this and trying to get some pointers. Why do you have a drain with no waterfall?

[D3monic]

Remove water build up in the substate. If i am going to be misting heavily I need a way to keep the soil from becoming water logged. The combination of the false bottom and the drain will make that possible. I may not end up needing it but incase I do its there.

That looks great man! Nice work

thanks! Plant order from blackjungle comes in today.....been in shipment since last tuesday. Hope its alive. Brom order comes in Wed.

I am planning on ordering a mist king system. For the exo would one nozzel be enough or should I go with two? I will probably order a couple extra anyhow. Also on the zip drip systems...do they really drip bad enough that something like that would be preferable? How bad are we talking? I plan on running this on my reef controller. Obviously I dont think it can do intervals less than one minute. Would one minute of misting be too much? I would hate to use the timer if I didnt have to.

I have one of the pre-zip drip systems, and it doesn't leak. I spray at one or two-minute intervals throughout the day, which is probably overkill, but with good drainage it shouldn't be an issue.
