OK now to the misting, im going to use the same greenhouse nozzles as in the other terr., they aren't adjustable, other than you can turn them slightly on the tubing (little higher or lower no more than that).
Nylon screws are easily cut , i used wire cutters,:-D.
Just thread the nut on first, and you'll have no problems when you remove it to install hangers for the tubing.
Willow is always there to lend a hand if i need it LOL.

Now i just have to get some form of humidity in , I think the misting system will do if not i may opt for another ultrasonic fogger, they do very well in the other two terrariums , and i havent replaced the ceramic disk in months , so for me its worth the 20 or 30 bucks.
Also need to get some mylar or other reflective material on the back of the tank.
I'll show the details of adding the misting set up later, it will be the same as in the other highland terr.

This will free up the space I need for some of the neps. that are getting larger now.
Guess I'll need a 5 to 6 foot tall grow chamber next :crazy:, because this will not contain some of the larger/taller growing nepenthes,
but this should do for a year or a little more, HOPE!
