I plan to follow the prescribed mistings from Chameleon Academy Panther Care Guides....1 minute at 9pm, 2am and 6am. With the fully planted substrate I don't want to over water while testing the misting system out and be left with a soggy swamp. Once it achieves swamp status it's difficult to dry out.
I haven't set up the automated misting until I can shore up the leaks. I have a Mistking system. There are 5 misting heads. All are mounted to the screen top. Two on the front left, two in the top middle and a single on the top right side.
When I mist for 1 minute the water pools on a horizontal ledge between the upper and lower parts of the tank. The water that pools on the front edge drips down to the tracks of the lower doors and eventually leaks out onto the stand and floor. My plan is creating a water shed that will allow the water to drip into the substrate instead of into the door track. It should prevent most of the issues. Simply repositioning the misting heads has helped tremendously.
