For those of you WITH NO automated misting system...

For those of you with NO automated misting system, whats stopping you?

Price? The types of systems available? Color of fittings? Just like to hand mist?

I would like to hear back from anyone

Thanks!

I have three misting systems, none of which are set up yet. I plan to set mine up when I finalize exactly where my tanks are going to be located in my frog room. While I do enjoy hand misting my tanks to ensure everything gets wet, the process can become tiresome.
I plan to post pics when all my setups are done.

LOL I don't have one yet due to the fact that I rarely mist my tanks, but I will have a huge misting system when I get my greenhouse up and running. Unfortunately it might be a few years before that happens.

I only have one tank so no real need for one. I don't mind hand misting.

Well for me it would be the price. I am pretty good at researching and figuring out what i need. I usually like to get the best but i figure I can find something relatively cheap but effective. Currently i have 1 rack witch 7 Viv's on it. 2 30's and the rest are exo's(12x12x18). One question I have is i have seen the "No drip" system and even seen it in action and still notice it does drip but not as much as others. Is it a good investment or a waste of money?

Thanks guys!

I wish I had the money to buy a good one. A good misting system will be great to have for many years to come even if you add tanks in the future....

I have a fogger in my 55 gallon and I hand mist it, and I have a 24/7 drip system in my 55 with an almost solid glass top so humidity stays up high. I always mist the frog poop off the brom leafs and fill the broms. Every few days.

Hey Nick. If you allow a little ventilation, your humidity will prob still stay close to 100% with that drip wall. I have a 2" vent across the front of all my tanks and my humidity still stays close to 100%. And I do not have any type of water feature, auto misting, or the like.
Just a thought.
