Thank you, I like to think all my animals are well looked after :)

I'm gonna try my artificial rain water next time!

Not a clue how old. All we know is he is beautiful :)

Just bog standard RO

I ve got loads but this IOS7 update has really screwed things up. I will get there eventually :)

I've had mine for a whole two weeks, and just one blockage. Is that considered crap :)

Here's George, had him for a month. Can anyone see a problem or is he looking ok?

As a newbie you'll find it's pronounced "bloody hell, did you see that!"

Started off with 12 second burst, every hour in the morning (well, till about 2pm). Everything above the floor is perfectly dry between sprayings. I noticed that the humidity is going up at night, so in the morning it's around 85%. Lifted the floor material and there's a small puddle developing...

Must have been a hell of a shock, from being him to her.

How did you know what our boy looked like :)

I was sort of hoping I wouldn't have to put in drainage in mine, but looking at this I'm having second thoughts. How long and how often is it activated?

Monsoon arrived today. Not sure it was a wise choice considering some of the reports on this forum, but hey ho, its done now. Looks smart, quiet running, gets stuff wet, fine mist :) I'm thinking maybe 4 or 5 short bursts of about 20s in the mornings. Does that sound about right? Have included...

Thanks :) and I know your right about the plant. Convincing the wife is the difficult bit.

Ok, gonna give an idea. There's a lot of posts on here and elsewhere that say the chams will retreat from spraying. Why? They evolved in a rain situation, why retreat? I suggest a thermal shock response. I'm a Newbie, but come on, why not an explanation? Edit - just re-read this and it sounds a...

My next querie would be about water temperature. I see a few interweb posts that say Luke warm is best, others that say room temp, but most have no reference to temperature. I'm guessing that a slightly heated source would mimic rainfall in the natural environment. Achieved perhaps by coiling...

He may have not been aware of TDS creep across the membrane when the unit is shut off for a while. TDS of water up here is anywhere between 200 to 300 ppm. After membrane it's between 4 to 6 until the membrane ages. I only suggest that this method replaces TDS of unknown origin with a known...

http://youtu.be/7jAn22n0wls Apologies for the sound effects supplied by my little lad :)

Had nothing to do today and I'm a bit prone to "overthinking" :) but now I've done the groundwork and a few simple sums I think it's an improvement. 1 millilitre of full strength (35ppt) artificial saltwater mix in 4 ltrs RODI gives artificial rainwater (almost 9ppm). Will have to confirm the...

So, in my reckoning, use RODI to remove all TDS, aerate to replace oxygen and co2, add very dilute marine salt solution to get the TDS back up to 5 or 10ppm, hey presto - artificial rainwater :)
