It just keeps growing! Added more sticks, 100% cotton cord and a $25 phone from the dollar store to use as a nanny cam. Download the "Alfred" app for Android. The phone is up in the corner away from the misting. The phone isn't activated, just running over wifi. The app can be accessed via a...

It does evaporate quicker in an open cage, but it still increases it for a while. It brought our humidity up from around 58% while spraying without the heater to 68% after we installed it. With our plants in the enclosure, the soil is moistened and warmed at the same time which holds the...

We do use a water heater in our res. Typically, they will quit working rather than over heat. High end ones have safeguards that will shut it down if it gets too hot. The thought behind it is the warmer water boosts the humidity in the enclosure.

As you have tried caulking, tubing being cut flush, several containers and drill sizes as well as attempting attaching the head both ways (tight and loose) I would lean towards having the head and seal replaced. If you don't decide to try to return it all together. You can go to a pet shop to...

I own a climist, probably about the same set up and design. Comes with one head, but can attach up to 8 I believe. $119

Good note on the dark container! I didn't think of that, adjustments will have to be made now.

Is it leaking around the bulkhead or through it where the tube connects? I also used a sterilite container for the res. If the tube isn't cut flush on the end, it won't seal inside the quick connect. If the hole drilled in the container isn't to spec or has a jagged edge, it can cause leaks.

Was scrolling through and was dragging the thread up with my finger over the reply button when my phone froze. Long story short, I don't know how to undo a reply window after it opens. Ignore this ty

Having helped my father build our outdoor aviary for my mother's 35+ finches she bread, I agree welded steel mesh is good for that. I built this enclosure with think plastic hex fence on the interior for climbing and wrapped the exterior in aluminum screen to keep loose feeders from escaping...
