Good cheap drainage?

[Darwin760]

Any ideas on a good cheap drainage system? This is my new battle, and I have to have this fixed before I get a mist king. Would there be any way to refilter the drained water and reuse?

What is your current setup? Screened enclosure? DIY? Post up a pic...

Sorry I guess that would help. Reptibreeze 18x18x36 currently using dripper, occasional DIY fogger, and hand misting about 6 times a day. no longer using reptifogger as shown in pic (that piece of junk was returned)

What does the enclosure sit on? Can you get one of those racks or shelving units and drip into a bucket below? Drill some small holes in the middle of the pvc on the bottom, place your plant in the middle for weight and there ya go! A lil over simplified, but that should give you an idea...

I use dura trays with a drain hole in one corner and put my cage in it on plastic "risers" for water flow.
Works 4 me

That's perfect. Was curious if that would be my best bet and so it is! Currently he is sitting on a built in sewing machine (dumb I know) but it was my tallest thing to put him on temporarily. He is happy, the finish of the desk is not... But he is all worth it. Thanks for the help, will have him set up asap

It seems the dura trays don't come in 18x18 but will definitely keep in mind for when I upgrade cage size

Concrete mixing tub from lowes and some vinyl tubing to a bucket. This catches all the water.




Pm me if you decide to do something like this, it cost like 15-20$ for everything.
