Coolmist humidifiers and the like
    #8783081 - 08/16/08 05:14 PM (15 years, 7 months ago)

I'm at the point where I am making a fc that as Ive stated before 36gallons in size and I plan on spawning about 5lbs (dry) of straw which takes up about 31 quarts.
Ive been looking at options read many things seen that actually everyone either uses a coolmist, ultrasonic, or perlite somehow how someone and there is no real favor for any choice besides personal bias. *take breath*
So at first I'm like ok I got these air pumps combine them with a dept of perlite and bubble wand, walla, PMP!
RR tells me that air pumps are for idiots
Psuper tells me my perlite is too shallow (3inches I got)

So i said shit let me try it anyway, no betta teacher than experience right?
I try my setup after a day of initial setup the perlite dries out, I almost lose hope then a light goes off in my head... Add more water! Added enough to get some bubbles from the bendable wand I have (very nice unpluggable) and we're back in business.
Now I cant say how well I'm doing cause everyone says you cant trust a cheap/digital hygrometer. it says 99% but is it? I don't know I gotta by a nice hygrometer I guess.... no other way to tell right?

So then I'm like ok how about I use standing water with an ultrasonic piece and the bubble wand for fae BUT if my measurements are correct a 60gallon aquarium pump puts out about 1 gallon a minute. I've read that the amount of mist ultrasonic equipment produces can be over kill plus I really want to hit 4 FAE/hour. So id atleast have to buy a better air pump.
More money? Then it just hit me, just get one coolmist. I could use it on 2 tubs according to some recent comments (and i have 2 tubs so).
I actually *borrowed* a Holmes coolmist the other day and guess what. its not really a coolmist its a wick. i searched for some more coolmist and they are obviously wick style humidifiers. now thats bs why can they call them coolmist when they are wick. I'm not sure anymore why I posted this...I think I needed to vent.
I think the basis of my frustration is the fact my local vendors have decided for me that since its summertime I don't need a humidifier so the majority of them aren't not currently selling them which means id have to order one... i don't know, target.com has the Vick's coolmist that I am familiar with and KNOW its a real impeller humidifier for 20 bucks so I'm going to order that and sell these air pumps and what not on ebay I guess. Thank you for listening...

ps there are even vicks coolmist humidifiers that are obviously wick/evaporation.
