Default One thing that might help

One thing that might help is to plumb an air pump line into the mist chamber to get an extra boost for the mist.

We built three "branches" that were hollow and each was about 7 feet long with 7 little holes (I think they were about 1/4 inch). These 3 branches hooked to a box 6"x6"X9" with an ultrasonic mister and some water in it. Without the air pump only a couple of the 21 holes had mist going out them. When we added the air pump all 21 had a nice flow of mist comming out of them. Just make sure your connections are tight, and you should be good.

Let me know if you have any questions.

I am only going to have 6 holes,one in each 10gal. I wanted to know the strongest Ultrasonic Humidifier I could buy,or would this even work without a air pump?

Default It might

It might work, but I would bet you would get a lot more mist to the tank if you added some additonal air. You could always set it up and see, and if it isn't getting the job done add the air pump.
