its recommended that you leave it dripping slowly all day, so it can drink when it wants.

ok even at night when lights are off?

There's no reason to run it at night since they are asleep and not going to be drinking. Just turn it on and off with the lights.

ok thanks, thats perfect so i can plug the dripper into the timer with the lights

what kind of dripper system do you have that never needs refilling and can be kept on a timer, I want one of these???

its a small 40 to 70 gph fountain pump, and i used aquarium tubing and a mister nozzle, then all i have to do is keep the pump in a tub of water, i use protein barrels because they can hold like 2 or 3 gallons of water.

Got any pics of your drip system? It could make a nice DIY for a lot of people on here that cant afford the mistking.

yeah sure should be no problem, its nothing to complicated and it only costs about $20
