Save Money and Time Setting up an Automated Misting System | DIY Misting System

[@ThePlecoPal]

I Googled automatic misters just to see if I can make something simple for my Boston fern but now I'm watching dozens of videos like this😂.

[@SupremeGecko]

Keep me posted on what you decide. I know this is an older video. If I can answer any questions, please let me know.

[@isobuddies]

Heard this video was a bear to edit and produce but it seems worth it. Bravo, sir!!! As always super educational. Thanks for all the efforts you put in for us hobbyists.

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you JW! That means a LOT. I am covered with bandages after the editing process of this one. AND- when I sat down to start editing, I found out I had no sound! Had to use the crappy phone audio and match up to the camera video. Ouch.

[@isobuddies]

@@SupremeGecko that sounds AWFUL. Well it seems worth it.

[@meekaboi]

I just set mine up today for 4 tanks of various sizes and it works wonderfully. Thanks!

[@SupremeGecko]

This is so great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

[@feliciafoster6165]

I will definitely watch this video again in a month when I consider doing a misting system. Thank you.

[@SupremeGecko]

That is exactly what I was hoping to hear.

[@Elaine_P_Smith]

I will have to build this misting system, but a little at a time. Your videos are always amazing, educational and well edited. Since I'm a retired teacher; I would give you an A. Sorry that's the highest grade I give.

[@SupremeGecko]

You have given me inspiration to keep doing better videos Elaine. If there is a way to get an A+, I WILL FIND IT (oh, by the way, please do not be too hard on me for my spelling. I know I am a terrible speler). :)

[@Elaine_P_Smith]

[@SupremeGecko]

@@Elaine_P_Smith I still misspell with autocorrect :)

Great video, Wally!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you Jessica

[@frankdughtank8327]

Amazing tutorial Wally this video was put together well!!! Editing was Fantastic A+

[@SupremeGecko]

Thanks FDT. ALWAYS appreciate your views. It was a HUGE disappointment from an audio standpoint but I had to go with what I had. I started out actually with an hour and 20 minutes of me talking and had to whittle it down to 18!

[@BOB-ud4gy]

"Supreme" info as always Wally! Love the how to video, "Supreme DIY"! I use that same timer for a fogger I have set up for a little humidity during the day. I hand mist at night when I feed. I use a Govee Bluetooth Hygrometer/Thermometer to keep track of humidity and temps, super handy for $10. Your system is a must have if you have multiple enclosures. A extra set of hands and eyes is always a bonus. Nice work Nanette!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you Bob. This video has been waiting to be done for quite some time. Finally got to it!!! I will check out that H/T for sure. Nice! Thanks for the kind words.

[@trishas2597]

Awesome video!!! We only have a few tanks but as we grow will definitely come back to this video! Thanks!

[@SupremeGecko]

Fantastic! This is what I was hoping to happen. Thanks Trisha.

[@daledellatorre2520]

This is awesome Wally

[@SupremeGecko]

Well, thank you Dale

[@talontd3727]

Fantastic video! Great job!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you very much. I hope you can use this. If you try it out, please do let me know how it goes.

[@remsal_gaming]

This is extremely helpful! Thank you!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thanks. Glad to help

[@mpk6664]

What's cool about this is that you can easily get this down to ≤$100. And for a mister just for taking small vacations, that's perfect.

[@SupremeGecko]

Exactly!

[@cowrunning]

this is great, probably need this in a couple years for my boa's adult enclosure since it will be bioactive. Seems a lot easier than I thought to DIY it.

[@SupremeGecko]

It really was.... but, there is a LOT of time doing the research into this! I bet I have 20-30 hours watching videos, asking other people, looking for supplies. But, that's why I do these videos- to hopefully same someone else this time.

[@GeckoGalaxyChannel]

Great video Wally! I’ll definitely be keeping it on the back burner for when I’m ready to set up automated misting! Thanks!

[@SupremeGecko]

Right! That's EXACTLY what I was hoping someone would say. Watch the video now.... come back in 6 months when you have to build one of these.

[@angieschwartz5294]

Some day I’m hoping to do this. I only have two tanks, but still! Awesome video Mr. Kern

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you Ms. Schwartz. :)

[@jasmineguillen2717]

Thank you this is exactly what I was looking for 😊

[@SupremeGecko]

Cool! Let me know if you do build one.

[@barbhelle5481]

Thank you Wally.

[@SupremeGecko]

You are welcome Barb

[@frankdughtank8327]

You hinted this for a while

[@SupremeGecko]

Thanks for remembering. I was hoping to do this quite some time ago. Finally got to it.

[@GLeviathan]

I knew my room had a problem with being quite dry to the point where misting some tanks only daily was not enough to keep them moist. This was not a big problem in my mind but after coming home after vacation (petsitter was there a few times when I was gone) and seeing my that my pacman frog was nothing but a dried up husk was the final straw. I really do appreciate you for making this video, and I will be trying these methods out on my tomato frog's setup to make sure they do not meet the same fate as my pac.

[@SupremeGecko]

Oh no. I'm so sorry to hear. Thanks for watching and hope this helps. If you have any questions, please let me know.

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video. I have had the lowest mist King system for over 6 years. Only misting 4 tanks.

[@SupremeGecko]

VERY nice! I have 2 other mist kings and love them as well (running 20 tanks and running 12). Great systems- plug and play. This one took a bit of work piecing together but I was happy in the end.

[@QueAquatics]

I need this in my life

[@QueAquatics]

I am going to try it

[@SupremeGecko]

You shoot me a message if you have ANY questions Suzy. Thanks for watching.

[@SupremeGecko]

Thanks

[@rashimparker2765]

Great video!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thanks.

[@acadiaterritory7178]

Thanks so much for sharing!

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you for watching

[@toxicevangelist750]

Excellent video, I bought one of the small Exo terra misters when I first started. It worked good for the first four tanks it was on but I moved back to hand misting as I've expanded.

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you for watching and the nice comment. Would you ever think of doing this DIY mister?

[@toxicevangelist750]

@@SupremeGecko Definitely, I'm always moving things though trying to get a good set up. Rather than T from tank to tank, I would like to do longer runs to each tank for flexibility. Put all the splits on the wall and run from there.

[@jerryjackson3345]

Very helpful video! The link you have for the timer doesn't go to the same one in your video. Just thought I would let you know!

[@SupremeGecko]

The video is a bit older so they may have changed it.

[@RescueDogTreats]

Wish I would have seen this video years ago!!!!!! ❤

[@SupremeGecko]

Thank you!

[@margaretbattista2298]

Great vids. I want to use a 5 gallon bucket as a reservoir does the bucket have to be food safe for my crested gecko?

[@SupremeGecko]

It should be but you can sanitize and wash out a few times to feel more comfortable. Just don't use a bucket that has had anything in it that could be a problem. Thanks for watching.

[@_lizard_laura_]

I was just about to buy a mist king for an upcoming vacation. This is perfect timing!

[@SupremeGecko]

Outstanding! Please check out the items as soon as you can as the pump JUST went on sale!

[@glencannon1139]

I created my own misting system for my dart frogs and crested geckos. I use a ten gallon tank with a submersible pump and run a loop back to the pump. Have to redo this since I changed the shelf and the number of tanks.

[@SupremeGecko]

Nice. I would love to see a photo if you have time to send over to FB.

[@DEAexotics]

WOW Wally thank you for all the great Ideas and Information it was a great video Keep up the great work ....P.S. My wife watched the video with me and she changed the password on our Amazon Account Thanks my friend ............lmao

[@SupremeGecko]

This is SO funny. Unreal. You know this will show up in my feed somewhere soon :) Tell Becky... sorry, not sorry.

[@jwslippman]

My Advance mist king was totally worth it. For under 13 nozzles you can get away with theStarter system.

[@SupremeGecko]

I always say- if you works for you, disregard what others say. Great to hear Josh. This system (fore thought finally) was purchased to actually run about 40 enclosures (I am hoping).

[@jwslippman]

@@SupremeGecko that’s pretty legit then! MK bases output on nozzles and I have over 30 on it without issue. Just wish I could control each enclosure individually as far as timing and output.

[@SupremeGecko]

@@jwslippman If ya figure that out.... let me know ;)

[@icreptiles8532]

Why not use a 3/8 bulk head connector to the bucket versus reducing down to 1/4 inch? I realize the lines are 1/4 to nozzles but does intake need to be reduced?

[@SupremeGecko]

Right. I did just because of the likes.

[@ycxydr]

What is the maximum number of nozzles that can be used misting system like this?

[@SupremeGecko]

If you vented correctly, 1.

[@James-xu5to]

Hi Wally. What kind of pump can be used for a single tank (18x18x24)? I do not want to have a pump that is overkill for what I need. Thanks.

[@SupremeGecko]

For just one tank? You might want to look at the Mist King then.

[@Lukksia]

what’s that gecko in the beginning?

[@SupremeGecko]

That is an Oedura monilis

[@jaykennedy2256]

When I get more the one take that need it I will ues it cuz I spent a hr when I ues to need misting

[@SupremeGecko]

An hour!!! WOW. For me it is a time saver but MORE importantly, this helps me to not need to remember to do it.

[@jaykennedy2256]

At that time I had 50 tank I was misting

[@SupremeGecko]

@@jaykennedy2256 Oh My!!!

Hello. Thanks for checking this out.

[@fiveeeYT]

Please help I’m currently raising a pill bug colony. I’ve found a white tin worm inside of his from under it coming out. Please help it looked like a pin worm if anyone knows how that looks. It went away after looking please someone tell me what it could be? And if so how do I get rid of it and will it infect the others. I have a big colony

[@SupremeGecko]

What kind of worm?
