super unfortunate that the MOST important point in MistKing's own installation manual is to gravity feed the pump. They state it more than once, with diagrams of what NOT to do, yet these guys just appear to ignore that and install it "wrong" anyways.

@@chiefchick I like the guy and he means well, but these videos could be improved. They need to follow a teleprompter on an IPad that will help the pre arranged material flow better. A lot of the stuff he was describing you have to follow in your head vs he could have just pointed to a real picture or drawing. With plumbing it gets hard to follow verbally. The guy for the timer was getting lost, and they needed to zoom in more on the timer console. Like mentioned above it’s ok to reshoot a video or scene and cut out. Again I’m not trying to nitpick but these are areas that will take his videos to the next level.

I realize that when you water the plants your raising the humidity. But the water from the one I'm using now doesn't reach all the plants (and I have to supplement), but it is keeping the humidity high. TIA

Hi Kevin. I still water the plants if need be once a week or so depending on how established the moisture layer are in the tank, as well as the roots systems of the plants. If you have plants all over the enclosure, it will be hard to get the misting system to adequately water them all and keep the humidity in an appropriate range. I hope this helps.
