Yes, please post a new video. Product reviews will be helpful.

How has your misting system worked out? Have you been using a heavier "rain mode" or more of a "gentle mist'?

 

[zipdk]

Hi anyone

and thanks for your replies, I havent been able to make a new video yet, im waiting for my plant supplier to get the bromelias back in stock I need, to envolve the rain forest even more.

the rain mode is a mixture of gentle mist and harcore monsou rain

Hi zipdk ~

Have you a hygrometer to measure the humidity? Wondering whether the "hardcore monsoon rain" setting might produce too much moisture?

 

[zipdk]

of course its a computer wish control the entire setup (heat, rain ect.)

the computer decides if it shall be a hard rain or a soft rain, deepending at the day and time of the year =)

Hi sorry for my late reply.

The background is made for aquariums, but as I figured, it could just as well works with reptiles, and guess what it works amazing its hard plastic.

they are getting UVB from flourent tubes at the top, there is no glas the top, only metal netting.

the computer was about 100 € in a german shop im not sure if it can work with US plugs.

I recived most of my stuff today, but im still missing my last plants, so here is a fresh teaser from my sofa
