Well I finally did it. I was amazed that even I could do this. Especially since I have the Flu and on the Verge of Pneumonia as of right now. So I was tired and exhausted. Thinking on My feet was not very easy today.

First I got the Reli On Ultrasonic Humidifier Model H-0695-0.
It has a 2.2 Gallon tank.
Purchased at Wal-mart Under $30.00


Without a defined plans, I was thinking on my feet while looking at different stuff for plumbing. I finally gave up the eleborate plan that was trying to form with varoius ways to attach stuff to the Tanks and settled for just 3 things.

I adapted it with 3 PVC Pieces.
a 1 1/2" Coupling...fits tight in the Cap. No Air leaks.



a 1 1/2" x 1 1/4" Bushing



a 1" x 3/4" adapter.


There was a tight fit Between the tank and the Coupling so No Permanment Attachment there. Easy to slip in and out to Make filling the Tank and cleaning it easy.


There is a air leak when you put the Adapter inside the Bushing. So I siliconed it. Just Used DAP AQAURIUM silicone. I know there is cheaper alternatives. Put it was there, it was a convient size tube, and required no Tools to apply.


The Unit is extremely quite. You can't hear anything. Fills the Tanks extremely fast on the full setting.

Here is the Start of the Tank filling


You can see the Flex hose in this shot.


A few Seconds into the Start of the Humidifier
I will play around with the setting more to get various amounts of fog in the Tanks.


And Actually Watch the Gauges to see the effectiveness of raising Humidity in each tank later.

I still need to decide if I want to plumb all the tanks together or just move the hose back and forth between tanks. If so that will involve finding the right tubing. Right now it will just be temporary because I discovered that my CPAP Breathing Machine hose fits over the Adapter. I need to go look at a medical supply store and see what they have available in various lengths. Its flexible and light weight. I can't find anything similar at any home improvement stores locally. If they have various lengths I can easily make a supply line that disassembles easily to clean on a regular basis to prevent mold and mildew from growing in the lines

More phots of the Tanks can be seen by clicking any of the Pictures or the Picture Below

did the same thing, even used a similar model of humidifier. love the mist control on it, only mine has a timer too.

i don't understand why people don't do this more often. it is very easy and works rather well.

Ok, I have a question. Do all ultrasonic humidifiers produce a mist or a fog like this or only a few of them do? Thanks.

Every Ultrasonic I have seen does.
However the Cool Mist and The Warm Mist types don't.

Hey i have a question what is attached to the end of the hose that goes into or on the terrerium? also where do you get the flex hose from?

hey i have a question...what is attached to the end of the flex hose that goes on top of or in the terrerium? Also do you put it inside the terrerium or on top of the screen top? Where do you get the flex hose from?

[jabberwock486]

i thought he said the hose was from a breathing machine. looks about right as my step dad has one and the tubes are similar.

i use a dryer heat hose. its big, i hook it on top of the cage cover and it's cheap. check hardware stores.

i really like the design!
you can move it to all the cages for a quick misting to keep things humidified!
i might have to steal the idea with my own twist

Correct It is the Hose to my CPAP Breathing Machine.



A 10' replacement hose is around 12.00 from the Company named in the picture. I need to replace mine anyways. I like the flexability, and it slips on, not screwed or secured in anyway so I can switch back and forth easily.

i have a crested gecko...what would i put over the end of the hose to keep the gecko from climbing up in the hose?
