Title: humidifier
Post by: Dr.McNinja on July 30, 2009, 07:08:56 PM
i'm using a 30 gallon rubbermaid for a fruiting chamber.  i'm thinking of using an exoterra fogger (linkage--->) http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/fogger.php  to keep the humidity up.
would this work?

or should i use something else?

  Dr.,
   Cost??    Tropic Aire humidifiers @ $13.95.  They are the Shit!   4littlepets.com  (http://4littlepets.com) Look into it,...  You really don't need all of that fog!  lol

Money,
  That is what I'm talking about.  Be creative,...
I use the Tropic Aire with my snakes, so it was an investment that just carried over to the hobby.
  Good show Nomoredroughts!    ^_^

This tropic air humudifier provides you with FAE and also with humidity?

Cugak,
  Not exactly.  But assuming you obtain an air pump with double outputs, all you would need do is run 1 line through the Tropic Aire, and 1 to the FC to a bubble wand, stone or what have you.  If you desire you can buy a small valve, ( pet fish dept, .69 cents ) to regulate the air flow.  Or for $2.49 a gang valve, to adjust the flow for either humidity, or air.
  Everyone I know that uses the product is happy.
