Fogger Tower Failed

[rednkhuntertd]

I recently purchased a Exo Terra Fogger a couple of weeks ago, and I had the best idea (so I thought). I purchased A grapevine log (shown in the picture bellow) and the log is somewhat hollow. The bottom was wide enough to put a container in it with the fogger. I used netting safe for my tank to cover up all the big holes & the top so that my Red Eyes could not get in. The idea was that the fog would creep out of the holes in the log, and when it worked it looked sweet. My plan was to only run it 2 times a day to keep the humidity up. Well the fogger died the 1st big day of running it for 15 minutes, and I replaced it. That new fogger (Exo terra) wouldn't even work when I tested it so I ended up trashing the idea. I was using distilled water and putting enough water in the dish for the censor to turn on but no luck. Does anyone know of any different brand of fogger that may work other that Exo terra and zoo med? I know that petsmart sells a clear one and want to know if anyone knew anything about it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.

Surprised your fogger died so quickly. Did you return that one or write the company?

Arts & crafts stores like "Michael's" carry foggers. With "Michael's" there is also the possibility, if one is in your area, of your finding a 40% or 50% off coupon in your paper which could be used to make the purchase a bit less agonizing.

Neat piece of wood/vine.

I ended up returning the fogger for store credit. Until I find a better company to go with then I will just trash the idea and keep the log. I put in some live moss and I hope that one day the moss will creep into the log and grow out of it. Has anyone had any luck with this happening? Any pictures?

Getting moss to grow is pretty hard,and it takes years to actually spread, they need lots of light and lots of moisture and not to much humidity(40-50%) and there roots are very delicate and trying to clean is a pain and if other live plants with big roots are in there, they will destroy the mosses roots.

You should buy the new tropicAire humidifier, it spreads fog everywhere and exchanges the air at the same time. I just got one for my 55 gallon it works great!

what about a mister instead of a fogger?
