Starter Misting System 4.0 - Orchid Board

I'm looking into getting the Starter Misting System 4.0 from MistKing. It comes with 1 misting assembly. I was wondering how many more assemblies I should get for a tank that is 45x20x11 (LxHxD)? I feel like I should get one more, but I have a medusae I want to include in the setup of Phals, Catts, and Onc. Obviously she needs more water. I'm trying to figure out how to accommodate all the plants, without water logging the Phals, Catts, and Onc, and giving the Bulb the water it needs. I figure maybe putting the Bulb in a small little "bowl" to keep the water from draining as fast might help? I'm really just trying to get all this worked out. I'd like to have this thing ready to plant by Feb. 1st. I'm leaving the 'chids in my mom's care for at least 2 months and I want to make sure that they aren't going to die. She's not good with plants. I'm trying to make this things as hands-off for her as possible. I just want her to have to add water to the misting system's reservoir, nothing else.

4 nozzles (maybe 2x double nozzles) are probably a good start. You can get more even coverage if you have more nozzles, though.

Thanks, naoki! You don't think 4 would be too much. It would help to know the range of the mist. I'll get 4 and see how that goes. I can control the length of the spray, so over saturation shouldn't be an issue. It's just going to take some extra planning to make them all happy, since they have different water needs.
