So I'm making a large cage this summer and trying to decide which misting system would be the best as I don't want to hand mist the whole thing. It's going to be 2ft deep, 6ft wide, and 4ft tall. I'll start with one cham in there but will add dividers once I buy more. Of course, the dividers won't be see through. But I've heard a lot about the mistking, monsoon, and the aquazamp. Which would be best for what I want it to do.?
 
Mist king is great mister. It can operate up to ten nozzles at a time so if you decide to get more chameleons you have that option
 
If I bought that does it come with enough nozzles to mist the whole cage.? Or would I need to buy more.?
I'm kind of intimidated by the whole thing, it looks complex and confusing.
 
i just placed my order with mist king. i believe the starter kit only comes with one nozzle and the ultimate comes with 3. but they are both expandable. im no expert but from what i saw at a local reptile store one nozzle got the cage pretty soaked and that was a 2x2x4. hope someone with better experience can chime in and help you more
 
I am unfamiliar with any of the other systems except the Mist King. Its super easy to set up & get working proper..... Just remember to prime the pump so you dont have to come back here and ask why its not working. Parts can be bought to expand the system as you need. Look here for the best price www.mistingdepot.com
 
If you buy the ultimate value system, you might consider using Josh's Frogs (www.joshsfrogs.com). The shipping is usually a little cheaper for the USA (it's definitely cheaper when ordering smaller parts, like nozzles or hose... I assume it probably saves a bit on the system as well).

I have two MistKing ultimate value systems and they work great.
You'll need a couple things: a 5 gallon bucket and a drill (and the right size of drill bit, per the instructions that come with the system). Past that, it's pretty straight-forward to set it up.

I keep extra hose on hand at all times (just in case I move some cages around or adjust anything, that way I can adjust the misting system along with it).
 
So should I go with the ultimate one or the starter pack based on what kind of cage I want it to run in.

the starter comes w/ only one nozzle. if you're planning on doing mulitple cages and it sounds like you are, you'll need to order more nozzles or just get the ultimate value system which comes w/ 3 nozzles.
 
One nozzle is fine for a 2ft x 2ft x 4ft cage. The lowest model you can add upto 10 nozzles, if you don't plan on having alot more cages that's the way to go.

Extra nozzles are $15 and tubing is $0.35 a foot.
 
I know theMist King system is very popular on these forums, but for someone who only has one Cham and no others in the foreseeable future I really love my exo terra Monsoon. It comes with two nozzles and a nice compact reservoir that has a built in timer.
 
I own an AquaZamp and throw my support behind it. Very similar systems, but AquaZamp is Made in the USA!!! You get a 4 gallon reservoir included with the system as well! VERY easy to set up and operate!

I agree - I'm very happy with AquaZamp and it was super easy to set up.
 
I don't think there is a "BEST" system just a 1a and 1b and then all the rest that are not even close!! I don't think you can go wrong with either. I really like the 2 and 3 nozzle rain domes but would prefer a mister over a single sprayer rain dome on a larger cage. I have an AquaZamp reservoir but don't use it I want a res that holds at least 10 gal. For Madone species I think the rain domes can't be beat!
