Fogger dripping?

[dillymann]

Place a wet rag along the top of the screen on your tank or up to the heat dome then get a plastic container cut a hole in it the top and place some sphagnum moss in it,wet it ,ring it out and keep it damp and that will help raise humidity. I'm actually about to up the temp in my tank and going to do the same. Wanna see if I can get my tank to he a steady 90 degrees and atlesst 50 % humidity. Cause now I'm at 86 degrees and 40-50 humidity on avg..that's before misting. I know if I raise temp it can dry out the tank,so have to get humidity up.

Dont have a screen top anymore... New enclosure ..!

i am unfamiliar with this type of fogger, what physical process is used to create the fog? (i suspect its ultrasound but im not sure).

the ultrasound foggers i know are typically partially submerged and fed by a body of water where the water surface is only slightly above the fogger, so the water pressure is minimal. like 5 millimeters or 1/6 th of an inch of water.

i can help when i know more about the device and the physics behind it.

also, is it an overflow problem, or is the fog condensing and then dripping down?

Its a personal ultrasonic humidifier that feeds from a little reservoir and yes i believe the fog is condensing and dripping dripping down

does it drip when the fogger is switched off?

if not, the solution would be to have it on a timer so that it is active for maybe 30 minutes every 3 hours.

these ultrasonic things only know "on" and "off" with nothing inbetween, just like the magnetron in a microwave oven. (set a 1000 watt microwave to 500 watts, and you can hear the magnetron switching on and off and on and off, strictly speaking it cannot do 500 watts, so it switches on and off to average out at 500 watts). if the setup is right and it doesnt leak when switched off, all you can do is to use a timer.

but then, isnt that chameleon stuff? drippers and foggers are usually an issue when dealing with arboreal reptiles that need water, but will NEVER drink stale water and only lick water from leaves. like most chameleons and some geckos. BPs will drink out of a water bowl.

I guess i will just have to stop using it for now ... I will have to see if the humidity does ok without it
