Default Best misting systems?

Getting to the point where I have a lot of high humidity animals and not enough time to be misting everyone all the time. So, I'm starting to think along the lines of investing in a misting set up. I'd like to get an idea of what everyone else is using and with what degree of success.
Thanks!

I do custom misting setups now myself. So I'd have to vote for my own one .

Default We use pro-products why?

Weve been using pro-products pm-60 for well over 6 yrs now and never had an problem what so ever their pump comes with an 2 yr warranty its super quite and can run dry if so happened without any ill affect. its self priming and their nozzels provide an super fine mist that just floats in the air. It gives us the proper humidity levels we need without soaking the enviorment. Nozzels are cleanable and not throw aways it clogged like plastic nozzels cause once you stick an pin in the hole you chance the hole opening more and now its shot. The different temp changes in the cage will not affect the nozzels performance Still a fine mist. Bottom line best systems weve ever came across and used to date.
How this helps
If you look to purchae one contact repti-racks or pro-products

But if the reptile moves the nozzel you now soak the wrong area ! if its screened sides you now have an wet floor or piease of furniture. Good for frog set ups but in my opinion not for other reptiles .

We have been using the RainMaker line for a little over 7 years, and have been very satisfied with them.
We have the RainMaker I misting system set up to mist 43 tanks in the frog room.
The RainMaker Jr. will accommodate up to 20 of the red low flow nozzles, and up to 60 ft. of hose, the RainMaker I will handle 50 or more nozzles on 80+ ft. of hose.

Hey Ethan. I've been using the Pro Products PM-70 for a few years now and it is just great. I didn't like their timer though, so I switched to a repeat cycle timer from Mist King. That timer is great too. I think I may get another mister for my babies soon. I agree with the above statements about Pro Products quality. Super fine mist, long life, quiet pumps, reusable nozzles. They're really great systems.

I still haven't managed to get around to getting a misting system yet. But seeing that the owner of Mist King (Marty) now owns these forums, I'll probably give his product a try when I get around to getting one. I think he mentioned something about free misting systems for moderators

I just ordered from Marty. After looking around, I found some products to be a little cheaper.......but Mist King's nozels and connections seem to be of a far supperior quality. I think you get what you pay for.
