How to pipe mist maker into tent?

Greetings,
My vicks style ultra sonic just isn't cutting it anymore. I figure I need to go for a mist maker. But I'm wondering how I pipe it into my tent. Any ideas?

Will it not fit inside the tent? Sorry if that's a dumb question.

Mist maker as in an ultrasonic disc fogger? Put it in a 5 gallon bucket then use a 4" dryer hose to pipe in the fog. Thats my plan at least, in about a month I should have a pictorial of my martha i'm building.

Maybe it would. It's kind of a big tent and I currently have piping that lets the mist out on each side on each level. I was imagining that I would need a big reservoir of water, or..?

So you're saying it will automatically flow out the pipe/tube/vacuum hose?
Awesome idea! Gracias.

I use the pipe insulation from Home Depot it's foam with a hole in the middle, you can easily cut and glue it together to fit any way you would like

Depends what kind of fogger you are using, if its the self contained unit you are using at the moment then yeah just connect a pipe straight to the outlet with tape or something like "99.99" did. If you are getting a disc fogger then you will need a fan on the other hole of the 5 gallon bucket to keep blowing the fog into the dryer hose all the way to the chamber. So two holes on the top of the 5 gallon bucket. One with the fan and the other with the dryer hose running to the growing chamber.
For the life of me I couldn't find a picture of what I am talking about online but I know the idea isn't new or anything like that. Anyways for the fan I will be using here it is Inline Fan-Amazon. I am still deciding on exactly how I am going to set mine up, I might do the 6" fan for more CFM which could come in handy and I might need it or I may just get the 4" fan I linked. I am unsure yet.

Thank you Gallium, I understand, and this was exactly what I was looking for as the 'self contained unit' is not adequate enough.
I would assume using a fan that matched the cu ft of the tent coupled with an adequate disc fogger should be an easy formula. Like a 72 cu ft tent could use a fan at 25 cfm so that the air was exchanged 3 times per hour. So this humidifier also accomplishes FAE. I like it!

Well I will be running both my fan and humidifier off of this Humidity Controller-Amazon. So FAE only happens when the humidity needs to be bumped back up meaning I will most likely go with the 6" fan that gives more FAE. I'd assume the humidity will only need to be adjusted a few times a day giving a short window for the air to be exchanged before shutting off again. My thought is that you can also use a speed controller to lower the amount of CFM but you can't raise it any higher than the unit was designed for. Also it seems the 6" fan has double the CFM and is only a few dollars more so I think I have decided that is what I will go with in my build.

Lol I also put my tubs inside my gh sometimes. Mostly when I go to work because they will take longer to dry out in there.

this. A properly dialed tub won't dry out.
