Hi Dan,
Thanks very much for considering us! The Big Enchilada is the 100% complete, just add water system. It will run lots of nozzles (16 at least, possibly more depending on your setup). Add a couple screen adapters and you're good to go for both of your cages and prepared for many, many...
It all depends on how valuable your time is. It's kind of like linux. :) Yes, you can piece something together and save a few bucks, but if you have to come back and redo it later, well, you didn't really save anything and wasted quite a bit of time and effort.
That's especially true with the...
Yeah, I'm in the same boat as Chad about the San Jose Reptile Show.
They said they had some "really good deals to help with gas for out of state vendors". It turned out to be a whopping $50 off buying two booths...plus, they don't supply pipe and drape at the show. You don't get jack if you...
The only reason you'd need the inline filter is if you are drawing the water from within the terrarium. I don't recommend doing that anyway, but with RO water, you're lightyears away from needing it. :)
That looks really cool.
You might not want to keep items that can be easily damaged by water underneath it, though. Even with a good drainage pan, things can happen.
That's not mist; that's fog. The droplets of fog are around 1 to 20 microns and are small enough to be inhaled. Mist is about 50 microns. An animal breathing fog regularly when they're not designed to do it has a greatly increased chance of getting an upper respiratory infection and possibly...
Eh, weight wise it probably wouldn't be more than $100 for FedEx Ground; it's that whole "Do not lay on side" that would be the hard part! The resin exchange cylinder is heavy and tall. Bad combo for shipping!
I have a Culligan Water Softener and RO system for sale on behalf of a lady who lost her house. She said she paid over $2,500 for it. It's a Culligan, so I believe it!
$500 if you can pick it up in Las Vegas.
Note that the one on eBay does not include a storage tank nor a sink faucet.
Check Sam's Club. They usually have a five stage Watts RO system for about $150.
http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=165779 Actually, it's $167. Just don't buy anything that's based around...
Check your local craigslist for used shower pans. They usually clean up well with a pressure washer and are the easy way to get a large drainage area that's absolutely waterproof.
Don't get a fountain. They're a bad, bad idea for chameleons. One smell of poop dropped in water and you'll know...
Powerheads will not work. They're designed to move lots of water with no back pressure. That's not what you need for misting, at all. In fact, it's exactly the opposite.
The HabbaSpit just spits out water; it doesn't produce a "mist" at all. It's a cheap product and you certainly get all of...
Cool pics! I can't see a manatee without thinking about the Jim Gaffigan (?) bit about one being on a talk show. :)
White tigers, man, talk about a cash machine! I sold a couple of whiskers on eBay to some of those Siegfried & Roy fanatics: $175 and $145 each.
Here's our humble booth. (Note the studly bald guy at Tiki^2.) Quite a few people commented on the Toughbook I was using. If you're going to run a high pressure water hose above a computer, you might as well use one that's waterproof!
It was really cool to meet everyone from the forum! Well...
Thanks for covering for me, guys! It's been a loooong weekend with the show and not getting back until 3am last night. Unlike someone on here, I actually went to work today. :)
Yeah, you have to push the tubes in pretty well. Remember, it has to stand up to 100 pounds per square inch of...
It was a busy, hectic, and fun day at the show. We're getting a lot of interest from customers, vendors, and some stores at the show. (Gee, LLL Reptile is getting $27 for my $19 timer!) and I'm thinking of paying ya'll to hang out in front of the booth when there's a lull in the action! I don't...
Let me know if you need any help with the misting system. My NoBulkHead Nozzles would be perfect, just run the line where you want the water, cut the tubing and install the nozzle in about ten seconds.
I keep telling my wife that if we get rid of the spa, we should do that to the room. :-)
Any digital timer with a one minute resolution will work. Those timers let you set the exact time of day you want to mist, so misting only during the day is not a problem. You don't want them plugged into the lights because they should be powered all the time.
The ART DNe Repeat Cycle Timer...
...and I should have some Las Vegas produced poison dart frogs, too! I don't remember what species she will be bringing, but I think some azureus and tincts.
It looks like the first batch will be white with a full color logo and digitally printed on "the most expensive apparel printer on the market". Apparently, screen printing can't capture the frog's reflection in the word "mist" since it's a bitmap in a vector drawing, so the logo will look...
