All right, so today I'm gonna kind of compare the difference between the
Repti Foggers and the two different Monsoons that we currently sell.
The Repti Fogger is going to be great at just raising humidity in the enclosure not
necessarily giving water droplets for the animal to drink from, but it will
definitely keep the ambient humidity up, allow them to shed a lot easier and just
overall replicate more tropical environments. One thing that's nice about
the Repti Fogger you can actually use it with the Hygrotherm and the
Hygrotherm is both a thermostat and a humidity gauge. You use it and control
lights, heating pads, anything like that, but you can also use it to check
the humidity and if the humidity starts to drop too low it will turn on the
Repti Fogger for you and actually adjust that. This one is $74.99 and you can actually
add it along with the Repti Fogger which is $60. Now in the way of the
Monsoons, the nice part with the Monsoons they do make two different sizes so if
you're relatively new to the hobby, only want one or two animals, you don't really
need the big multi system, you could go with the Solo system. The Monsoon Solo
comes with one nozzle, you can definitely run up to two nozzles with it. So you
could do you know two small 12" x 12" cages or with you know one nozzle
each, you could do two nozzles on one 12" x 12", something along
those lines, or just two nozzles on one 18" x 18" pet cage. This one here will come
with two nozzles, it does run up to six nozzles, so you can kind of break that
down however need be. If you want to go with a massive cage and run
six nozzles in one, six tiny cages, however you want to do it. Now the monsoons
will also raise the ambient humidity, but it tends to go a little bit slower
because you're doing large droplets. Those large droplets are great for
chameleons to drink from, geckos, especially crested geckos, day geckos,
things along that line. Now if you ran something like this with one of these, by
the time the humidity actually jumped up you'd actually be flooding out your tank
so I don't recommend that, but the nice part with these is they do have built-in
timers you can actually control how long they go on for, and how often they go
off. So it gives you a lot to play with and just kind of adjust in your cage and
be able to control your atmosphere. Personally both of them could be used in
conjunction. You can have the one to keep the humidity up and fog, and then
you can use the Monsoon, just add in the water droplets for your tropical animals
when it is time for them to drink through the simulated rainstorm.
Alright, so this here is the Fogger. Now this one does have the ability, like I said, you
can put it on a timer if you want it, or you can use the Hygrotherm thermostat
with it to increase humidity. As you can see this one's on pretty well full blast,
puts out a lot of fog and that's just gonna raise humidity. It does kind of
give that creepy, eerie effect if you have some blue or
red LEDs going on in there as well. Yeah, yeah. Great for Halloween. So on this one
we also do have our magnetic clip, that we're actually clipping it to the side
with, this does help out with just holding it in place. The next part about
it is it does have this reservoir that just kind of turns off when you pull it
out so you can refill it, let it run, and then you just put it back in.
We do recommend with both this and the Monsoon to use either reverse osmosis or
distilled water, and that just keeps them running a little bit cleaner so you
don't get all that hard water deposits, or calcium buildup, mineral deposits.
So this is the Monsoon Multi. This is actually the old model, this one does still have
the old dials on the front, the newer models actually have a push button
instead. The dials on the older models used to mess up, not work properly so
they've made it into a much simpler way. You can still alter your cycles on
the new one in the same manner, same with the how long then this is actually on
for. This one does have you can see there's an off, and on, and then a cycle
button. Now cycle is when you're actually gonna have it on the timer if you want
to just you notice your tanks getting dry, the animal looks like it's looking
for water or something like that. You can't just kick it on to on, that's just
gonna continue to let it spray. And as you can see the leachie kind of has some
water spraying behind it although it's kind of hard to see through the in the
tank. See some of the droplets forming on some of the plants and that's gonna
really allow for the animal to drink from. Now to get it back on to the timer
mode you can just hit cycle, and then it will actually continue to keep running
through the remainder of the cycle, so just keep that in mind if you just have
it on and running. But things like the leachie and the cresteds
definitely benefit from it same as your chameleons, and like I said the day geckos, things
like that, will all love it as well.
