I don't think I would use a 24x24x18 (LxWxH) unless it was set up in a way as to be able to view at least 3 sides of it without obstructions. That is a deep area from front to back. Or, planted with all the plants towards the back so there'd be a good viewing area up front.
The monsoon mister will likely stop working in a year or so, they don't tend to last long, and once they're broken there's not much you can do to fix them. But it'll probably be nice to have for awhile
Mistking is generally regarded as THE option for automatic misting. That said, if you have an option that is working then I would keep using it till it's not. No reason to buy a whole new system when you have a competing product already.
Thanks I have seen mistking mentioned many times on here as a good option. I'll have to look into the other option as well. I will probably use the monsoon initially as I plan to set up the tank first and let it sit with plants for a bit so I can get some experiencing with keeping the right parameters before I add the frogs.
I like the little cave in the middle In my experience, the only thing you can say for sure about putting effort into something like that is that the frogs will never use it. Ingrates.
I'm late to the misting system party but: The monsoon will fail, as others have noted, BUT you can use it with a digital outlet timer. Mistkings are great systems (I have 3) but if budget is an issue a $10 digital timer off of amazon can make a monsoon system functional and reliable.
Its ok if they don't use the cave, I actually put it there to grow a Bromeliad out of.
