Mistking-one cage to two?

Since getting Hansel now I am going set up my Mistking to mist for 2 cages. I would love to see how some of you have your set ups for 2 cages and advise for what I would need to make that happen. I know I'll need extra tubing and a t-valve of sorts. Also another sprayer nozzel and wedge.

My Dragon Strand Large Atrium will be here this week. As soon as I get that all set up and get DZ transferred to it I will be stripping and cleaning DZ's current cage and resetting it up for Hansel. I'm hand misting Hansel for now and giving him Daily showers but I want to get him on an auto mister too since it has a fine mist.
 
Your mistking should be able to run 6-8 nozzles. You might want 2 just in the atrium alone. The official setup thread shows some misting setups.
 
I'm setting up a second cage right now. Both are Dragon Strand large keeper cages (24x24x48) and I have 2 nozzles per cage. In my environment, I would for sure have 2 nozzles in a large atrium. The cages are side by side, so it is a matter of taking the "no drip" return line off of the first cage and moving it to the second cage. (I cut it long originally for this purpose). Then, run new tubes between the three T's. I think the only kinda tricky part is being sure the tubes are seated into the connectors. And, it's a lot easier to install the wedges before the cage is assembled.
