Make sure you push the hose into the fittings real good! Also before hooking the hose to the nozzle, hold it down near the pump and run it till water emits. This will prime it.. and keep you from having to disconnect the nozzle to do it if it wont spray

im not sure the size or kind of terra you have. i dont have to be at work till 12 most days so i turn loki's lights on at 10 give the terra a light misting. right before i walk out the door i give it a good spray. have my fiance' spray once during the day then when i get home from work. and if ithe humidity is below 60% i give her terra one last misting an hour before i shut her lights off for the night. but thats me not everyone can do that.

I forgot to get a "screen top wedge" so I made one out of wood. Its the brown thing on top of the cage. I just cut a peice to fit. Hope thats helpful

Okay so i have all of these pieces,

In red are the fittings to put near the bottom of your resevior. The items linked in blue are to be connected, and the white ex thing is just a plug, hold on to it, but you shouldnt need it for this application.


(Im sure thats one of the plays we used in HS football?!)

can i just use a bucket for a reservoir?

 

[Solid Snake]

Yes. I would recomend a 5 gallon one. I used a two gallon because it was handy, and I had to fill it everyday. One nozzle on a 5 gallon, youll probably have to fill it every 5 days to a week maybe
But any sturdy plastic bucket, with a lid will work. You dont want a tight fitting lid. Just somthing to keep debri out. I see lots of people cut the lids and cover them with screen. I just lay the bucket lid on gently, so air can still be exchanged.

is that how the rest of the thing hook up?

 

[Solid Snake]

Looks correct! Put some water in the resovior and make sure it doesnt leak. I had to adjust how much I thightend that bit to get it not to leak
