Securing Mist King Lines

[Nicholasdeaan]

Any tips to securing the lines down so they won't rattle and shake the cages? I see the system comes with little line clips but what can you fasten them to?

Zip ties. Sometimes I wrap them in foam. Sometimes I screw them onto the cages. Sometimes I use electrical tape.

Yeah see I'm trying to keep the astetics of my set up lol For a while I had everything taped and zip tied. Starts looking crazy! Screwing them onto the cages doesn't sound to bad. All I would need are some short sheet metal screws. May give that a try. Poor guys run for the hills when the system kicks on its shaking so bad lol

I fasten them to the wall or up the back side of the stand and cage. The tighter the grip on the supply line, the less oscillation you'll get.

That's what I'm lookin to do.

Wrapping the supply line with a little electrical tape at the clamp point, will help hold the line. Mount a few clamps, turn the pump on and see whats still shaking. Add more clamps where needed. Top wedges also help, if clamping alone doesn't stop it. After 30 minutes of fine tuning my setup, all I hear is hissing from the mist.

Yeah so I broke and used tape.

It'll be kicking on in about 25 minutes. Hopefully I got it all.
