Assembling a MistKing starter system for a double-sized (48 x 24 x 48 nom) enclosure, I have no frigging idea how much distilled water I'll be going through per day or week or whatever, so I'm not sure how big a bucket to get for the reservoir.
5 gal for drainage seems ok. I'm hoping I'll only have to empty it (using the drainage water for other houseplants) once per week, but if it's more than that—fine. Missus & I would have trouble handling anything larger.
But the supply reservoir... Will I need another 5 gal. bucket, or can I get away with 4 gal—or even 2 gal? This is more of a size/footprint/real estate issue than weight, as it's going to have to sit on Missus' plant table next to the enclosure.
I know the short answer is, "It depends," but ambient conditions are rm temp 68-74F; 50% RH, which I would think is pretty average.
What size reservoir are you using (if you have a 24 x 24 x 48, I'll just double it for a ballpark idea) and how often do you fill it (in gallons per how often)?
THX.
