do i still soak the perlite
    #7905651 - 01/20/08 12:46 PM (16 years, 12 days ago)

when using the PMP with two bubblestones, will i still need to make sure my perlite is moist before placing it in the terrarium. i know i should still rinse it off but wont putting the perlite in the chamber already moist, then adding the water to the bottom make it too wet, or do i just need to b careful with how much water to add to the bottom of my terrarium. THX FOR ALL REPLIES

You don't need a PMP, or bubblers, just drill 100-200 1/4 inch holes around your FC, and keep 5 inches of damp, well drained perlite on the bottom.

An ultra sonic mister set for 1 minute on, 15 off will provide all the misting you need.

Though some mist using a spray bottle, I prefer the tiny water droplets an ultra creates, and appreciate being able to time the misting without having to actually be there every time a misting is needed.

Get a repeat cycle timer like the Cyclestat 4P.
