Zoo Med HygroTherm Humidity and Temperature Controller Review

Zoo Med HygroTherm Humidity and Temperature Controller

this is all about automation. If you have a busy schedule and can't be around the terrarium all the time, buy this.
This goes well with my 25 gallon terrarium and a fogger.
it may seem complicated to program this but its actually really easy if you read the instructions i mean come on there are only 2 BUTTONS on this thing!
the lcd display is always lit which is cool too.
the probe that you put in the tank to measure humidity and temperature seems pretty accurate, i have 2 other independent thermometer and humidity measuring devices to make sure this unit is working properly.
one special note on how it operates:
i set the humidity level to stay at (90%+) when humidity starts to drop below (90 percent) it takes this unit about 2 FULL MINUTES before it turns on your fogger device (THIS IS NOT A MALFUNCTION to the best of my knowledge) but when the fogger is running, as soon as the probe in the terrarium senses that the humidity is met, it immediately shuts off the fogger
bottom line this unit is a bargain for the functions it performs.
a comparable controller that does humidity and temperature available from hydroponics suppliers would be more accurate over this unit however the price of those is generally over 200-300 dollars so this being under 100 dollars is great for automation on a budget!

The HygroTherm\' is a Thermostat and Humidistat in one! It controls up to 1000 watts of combined temperature and humidity control devices. It has a 2-in-1 Remote Temperature/Humidity Sensor with 5 foot cable. Its great for use with Zoo Meds Reptile Fogger\' Terrarium Humidifier or Habba Mist Automatic Misting Machine. The HygroTherm\' has a nighttime temperature drop feature controlled by a photocell, built in memory which stores settings in case of power failure and an alarm that can be set to flash when the temperature or humidity reaches extreme high or low levels.

This is not, as advertised, an Exo-Terra fogger. Do not be mislead by the picture or description. The actual unit being sold is of poor quality, and not made by Exo-Terra.

Zoo Med Habba Mist Automatic Misting Machine Review

This unit really should not bill itself as a "mister". It is a sprayer and not a very "fine" one at that. The little motor inside does not build up enough water pressure to disperse a fine mist spray - but, rather shoots a course spray. Depending on how you are using it it can be pretty good, but, if you want a fog or fine mist to cover a large area, this is not for you.

Tropicaire Humidifier Air Exchanger Review

I was skeptical at first. Living in dry southern California, I've had a hard time CREATING, nevermind maintaining humidity. But the Tropicaire delivers on it's description. Unlike a cool mist humidifier that emits a stream of visible water vapor and can raise humidity to over 90%, the Tropicaire doesn't even look like air is emitting from it. However measure the RH (relative humidity) and it does maintain between 50-60% which is better than I was able to do with constant hand spraying. Plus there's the added benefit of circulating the stale humidified air. I'd give it 5 stars if there was a way to control the amount of humidity produced. Although you can purchase different air pumps and valves to control the air flow into the unit, it doesn't seem to affect the amount of humidity it's able to create. So if you need over 60% humidity, I don't think this would be enough.

Zoo Med Reptile Fogger Terrarium Humidifier Review

Makes alot of fog quickly and for extended periods of time. Will humidifiy your reptile cage. Be sure to mount hose so that it puts fog into the cage from above, not from a side wall as water will collect in the tube and drip. I you mount it with the hose pointing down into the cage any drips will fall back into the machine instead of the cage. Use distilled water to keep it running in god condition and avoid mineral build up which will cause it to stop working. Good product.
