Mister, fogger, or other solution to raise humidity in 18 x 18 x 24&quot; Terrarium? Male

Imagine a bucket with a float valve in the side. The valve is connected to a water supply so maintains the water level as the ultrasonic fogger turns it into fog, which is then drawn into the Exoterra by your exhaust fan in the top,

I am a fan of Mist King and used one in a "plant hospital/incubator". The lowest level Mist King starter kit easily watered (not just humidified) a 72" x 36" x 36" volume. I think it would be overkill in your application and will wet things down, rather than just boosting the humidity.

Oh, I see. I guess what I don't understand is why I wouldn't just use tubing to feed the fog directly into the tank (via a humidifier)?

I went ahead and bought the MistKing because it was such a good price but I may just sell it. I definitely don't want things to be overly wet. I would like to experiment with automated watering in the future but with the added humidity I probably won't have to water as much as I do now.

I definitely would like to get something like that. Is it automated to where the humidifier only runs enough to maintain the humidity you set it at? Also would it work with any humidifier?
