What water and schedule for misting system.?

[mychamtini112012]

I am going to get an aquazamp with the raindomes but have a few questions.

What kind of water is best for this.? Regular bottled water.? Tap water.? The water you buy from the store in the big blue buckets.? Something else.?

And whats your schedule for your enclosures.? I was thinking this would be my schedule for a day.
Lights turn on at 7:30 a.m.
Rain for seven minutes at 7:45 a.m.
Rain for thirty seconds at 10:30 a.m.
Rain for ten minutes at 12:30 p.m.
Rain for one minute at 3:00 p.m.
Rain for five minutes and 6:00 p.m.
Lights out at 9.

Would this be okay.? And keep up humidity.? What should the humidity be at.?

Use distilled water or reverse osmosis. The hardness of most tap and bottled water will kill the mister.

Twice a day for 3-5 minutes is more than enough.

Well I was thinking for humidity and to make sure they get more then enough times to drink.

Maybe the three long one should just be five minutes long.?

The water drops will hang on the leaves for an hour or so.
The best way to maintain humidity is with a humidifier.
Misting a cage several times a day will grow bacteria and fungus.

Putting a humidifier in the room.? What type is best.?

First thing to do is measure the humidity with a real hygrometer. You can find one here http://www.weathershack.com/meade-instruments/tm005x-m.html
Then you want to find a small humidifier, if you need one.
Veilds don't need much humidity.

<center>Well there will be panthers in the cage. And maybe hoes in another. They'll be hooked up to the system.
