I never used any of the "mist systems" from the pet stores or online..I get 1/4 tubing from the "do it center" or home depot or lows will work to, "Tee's" so you can break off and connect it to several cages not just one..I have a "Mist" Nozzel and a "Drip" Nozzel for each cage..it's hooked up to the hose...which has a timer on it..set the time how ever you want...and WaaaLaaa..you have a mist/drip system for under $50 bucks!
