i sit my cham cage on top of a big tupperware tote.
How long have you been running the drippers like this? How much pressure does the pump generate?
I tried to do something similar but the pump filled a reservoir. That way the pump only had to run long enough to fill the reservoir. I had lots of problems with air in the line.
Right now i use an Oasis dripper meant for plants. It is a closed loop system so air is not a problem but it only has four preprogrammed timings. I ended up building a relay circuit to work around that but i would love to come up with something simpler while still reliable.

I setup the dripper in the summer of 2009 so it has been going a couple of years without any problems. Air in the line does not make a difference. The water is pushed all the way around to the last cage and I can adjust the drip with either the dripper head or the inline valves. I take the pump and run it through a bleach solution once a month to make sure it is not getting nasty. The only maintenance issue has been replacing a couple of the adjustable drippers that got a little calcified. I have the dripper always on auto and run it manually when I am in the room for a while and hand mist a couple times a day as well.

Probably would be as expensive but I already had this pump. I ran 2 cages on a smaller cheaper pump but put in the mag since i upgraded to a larger reef and had a spare. If you put the pump on the level of the drippers you would not need much pressure at all to push across to several cages so could run with a smaller cheaper pump. Its just me but I prefer the dripper to an automister. That might change if I get a mistking for christmas this year
