Yes to the pet tube rant
pet tube rant FTW
I think I ended up making it, but not sure hha
To answer your question before
You started this video. I think there’s too many opinions and pet tuner it’s reptile keepers judging one another. There’s hard feelings, resentment and anger. But I don’t think that’s a valuable way to use your platform. Lifting those up who are doing a good job and putting out good info goes a lot further than using your voice to condemn those not doing a good job. I think this community needs a lot more positivity, kindness and humility. It’s lacking those departments immeasurably.
Anyway great video. Love your content per always. Have a good day!

It's just a matter that I would like to bring up, like why we gravitate to so many people that take shit care of their animals, and really don't understand even the basics of reptile husbandry. Those are the people that end up with hundreds of thousands of subscribers making more money than most of us lol. In that same video I would promote good keepers as well not just present the bad.
I tend to disagree, I think there is plenty of kindness and humility in the reptile community, it just depends who you talk to.
I’m going to set one up as a shower for myself. Thank you ☺️💦.
All jokes aside, mistking is the way to go! Great video bro.
haha that would take forever! They are definitely the way to go
I know Im quite randomly asking but does anyone know a good site to watch newly released movies online?
@Zachary Imran flixportal xD
@Rey Felix thank you, I signed up and it seems to work :) Appreciate it !
@Zachary Imran glad I could help :D
Yes please to the rant!
I think I ended up making it.
yes to the rant and the behind the scenes! also one question for you, you mentioned in the video that you have a heater in your reservoir. What is the heater for, and how warm do you keep the water? thanks man.
My room gets pretty cool at night so the water temps tend to drop especially being that close to the ground. I just turned the heater up to like 78-80
I shall check out the mist king as I need to set up a mister in my terranium for my whites tree frogs. For enrichment purposes and as i love to treat them.
Yes to rant!
Also thank you for tutorial it’s very useful. 🐸
You’ll see how useful it becomes when you try and figure out that timer haha
Yes to pet tube rant. Yes to tutorials. Yes to BTS at the reptarium.
Thanks for suggestions! I will definitely go for it
Please share a link where the MistKing is less expensive than the Monsoon. I've been considering one for awhile but I have not witness the price difference you mention!
All I know is that the monsoons in canada are nearly 200$ and the mistkings are 155$. Not sure if that is the case in the states. But regardless the price disparity I wouldn't waste any money on the Monsoon
Mike Tytula the monsoon sucks ass!!!!
My mist king starter was $128 on Amazon
Amazing !! One question ..What is water conductivity? tds ppm ?
I just used tap water in mine.
I mean. . . about damn time!
haha I had it setup in the past but just re set it up.
Looks to be a good product. I might order one myself to save the time of putting together a DIY mist system. Like everything else once it's labeled for reptiles or pets in general they stick a higher price tag on it.
It really is a wicked price!
Sorry for multiple comments- have you ever thought about setting up 2 lines off of one pump (2 timers of course)? I think there is some type of Y connection and calibration piece needed. Let me know if you've thought about this as it seems you are running 1/2 of your room right now. I also need to do this and would like to share ideas.
I would just run half my room with one and the others with another, I have an ultimate system just lying around so it wouldn't be to bad to set it up. I'm only running 2 tanks on this system haha
@@MikeTytula makes sense then.
Thank you for this video! Would you recoment getting the starter or the ultimate (asking as a starter in the repti world)?
Depends how many misting nozzles you plan to have.
I have the cycle timer for the Mistking and boy was that a pain to program.
haha that one is a pain for sure!
Thanks Mike. I know your name from Cham Academy. I'm hodgepodgelodge
Oh that is awesome! Welcome!
Thanks for putting this together
Thanks for watching!
Great video.
Thanks Doug!
Yes do the rant !👍
Everyone seems to want it
This was a very helpful video Mike!
I wanted to ask you. Does your mist king system have issues running on standard tap water? Do you find it would be prone to calcium deposits easily? I keep Asian water dragons and while I have no issue spraying them by hand 4 times a day, a MistKing would make things easier. I just don't have access to RO or DI water easily.
Thanks!
I always use RO water with mine so I can't really speak to that. I guess I should have mentioned that in the video haha. I reckon you probably have access to RO more readily than you think. And If not you could always just buy an RO unit and invest in that side of their husbandry.
I out filtered water from the machine at a supermarket (Meijer). The only water i used that didnt turn yellow in the reservoir, or leave build up.
Hey Mike, yes I think you should do a lot more tutorials and information on bio active. 👊🐍🐢🐊👊
Any suggestions you would like me to make?
Mike Tytula I think you could do a video on the fundamentals of bio active.
Hey Mike new dart frog owner here. I have a simple question I cant seem to find online. Does the humidity have to be 70% in the whole enclosure? Or does it have to be 70% on the floor of the enclosure? Huge fan of yours!
Minimum 70% ambient humidity
what should be the misting period for a dar frog tank? Thanks!
Hello I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s all set up and turns on but no water is coming out 😢
Probably need to get the pump sorted, and under the level of the water.
Great video Mike. Programming the timer is the hardest part, right?!? :) I have a couple older timers that are not as visually appealing. And yes, call out those PetTubers. I know this is a popular trend o YT right now. I think there is a good way to do that and a not so great way to do that. I am sure you will be very constructive.
We'll see if I end up doing it. I am a lot more analytical and critical in my thinking, so I'm sure it would be constructive and present both sides.
@@MikeTytula I can see that. I was a Project Manager and see those traits in you.
Suppose that’s a good thing? Haha
@@MikeTytula isnt it?
Very informative, and yes on the rant lol.
Thanks Chuck!
Sweet, do you think this would be a good setup for plants?
Just plants alone? Absolutely
Can you set system by humity level
There is a hygrostat controller, but costs extra.
Yes to the rant... So many educational pet tubers... and far too many pet hoarding pet tubers...
Unforuntately the former is much less frequent
Please do tell
Educate the public, a lot of us don’t know what goes on in the pet tube community
I mean it's mostly all public, on twitter etc. but just my thoughts would be all. Not sure if I want to swing that low though
Do you feel one nozzle is enough to get the whole tank like you have it or a double nozzle?
I'd probably go with a double nozzle
@@MikeTytulayeah I went with a double nozzle works way better to get the whole tank
Ya that makes sense! @@JosephJoJoFlores
cool vid man thanks. what kind of water are you using? just filtered tap water?? or what?
I'm using RO water with this system!
@@MikeTytula what RO system do you use? also what do you use to get the good minerals back into the water for your plants? sorry new. a video on this topic would be super good fyi ;)
I don't actually remineralize the water before I water the plants. For that normally I just use tap water
How many nozzles do you suggest for a 36”x18”x36” Exo Terra glass terrarium? And the placement of each of them? Thanks!
What exactly are you keeping in the tank?
@@MikeTytula the plan is a carpet chameleon... still in the research phase.
I would do 2 double nozzles
Quick question I noticed you don't have zip drip selonoid do you think its worth the price
I mean it's kind of up to you
I have my mist king times so low and I still feel like my tanks need draining way too often... Am I crazy? How often do you have to drain the drainage layer of your tanks?
HAven't had to drain them yet! MY plants use all the water first haha
it is not available il France
The mistking?
Very nice
Thanks man
Do you ever have problems with bugs in your room getting loose
If you are careful you can make tanks that are bugs escape proof
Great video! I live in Edmonton and just bought a mist king to help with the humidity in my ball pythons enclosure. Been having a heck of a time this winter.
The mistking is the best, will certainly help!
I got my mistking working and everything. Only issue I'm having is my mister to go off for the times I set on the timer. I did them correctly, my setting is already on auto, the time clock is right too. Idk why it doesn't turn on when the scheduled times hit. It does turn on when I do it manually so I know it works.
Sounds like you probably didn't set something right
@@MikeTytula figured it out, so turns out the next timer that was going to set off was set as 6:30AM1 meaning it had to wait for the next day, took me a while to get what the 1 meant after the AM. (1=days remaining.)
@@760dannyboy Ahhh yes that makes sense
Tear those animal hoarders a new one Mike!
hahah we shall see if I decide to make it or not
Why if it runs out or low it takes a while for mist king to start spraying again? But i also use reptisafe
Are u going to reptarium to help again
Because it bleeds the lines if it runs dry, so it takes a while for it to get suction back. Watch till the end and you'll know
@@MikeTytula yeah i seen the end wish i can get time to go
Couldn’t get the one or two days off?
@@MikeTytula unfortunately
What size hole do I drill for the nozzle in the lid?
I believe it was 5/8
Thank you
Yo yo Mike! Cheapest place to get one in the U.S. ?
They are very similar cost across much of the US but probably the best place would be from Mistking themselves haha
So it doesn't come with a resivor? I don't wanna have to have a whole Damm tote under my set up. 😂
I mean you can use anything, doesn't need to be massive. To each their own, this really is the best mister commonly available.
@Mike Tytula cool. I'm needing a set up for my Leapord Gecko.
He has 40 gallon low incolsure and was thinking about getting one of these mistkings. At least the starter kit.
Would you recommend that ?
@@christopherwilliams5808 For a leopard gecko? They don't require a ton of humidity, manual misting should be more than enough to keep the tank as humid as they need it.
I am getting mourning geckos this weekend and am worried that very quickly I’m going to have to many that I won’t be able to manage. So my question is, how do you sell them and where do you sell them and if I can’t sell them should I just kill the egg before it can develop, which sounds horrible, but is what I’m leaning towards. Another idea I had was to give them to my local reptile store who can sell them. And finally, would selling the babies on craigslist be acceptable or should I create some website on Wix or something like that. Other than the babies I believe that I have everything under control. Any suggestions will help.
Build your reputation and sell them when you can. If not you can likely sell them as feeders if you have too many.
Yes pet tube rant
Everyone seems to want it
Hi. Is this v4 or v5? Thank you!
This is for the V4
Mike Tytula Thank you! I got me a V4 today.
Right on!
i want all that BTS. all of it. no joke. go live, the whole time.
hahah if there is some down time, maybe I will
I thought they quit making mistking?
God no! They are the best
If I had use of a misting system it woyl be a Mist King.
Definitely the way to go!
YES 1ST
Nice
Taylor Nicole Dean?
Though who shalt not be named
Do the rant why not.... People tend to like drama lol
I know people do, I don't want to become just another shit head youtuber though
Add an air stone to your reservoir to keep anaerobic bacteria from growing
There is enough water movement in the bin, I never had an issue with anaerobic bacteria.
if using RO water I don't see how anaerobic bacteria would develop, as there's nothing to feed the bacteria and there is oxygen available in the container
@@taylorhickman84 it's simple, anaerobic bacteria exist outside of just water. All it takes it for one cell to enter the bucket to get a colony started. They can't do that with too much oxygen in the water.
As far as feeding the bacteria goes, same deal. No RO water is completely pure and outside contaminants can feed the bacteria.
I've been keeping, selling, buying, trading, and catching fish for decades. Freshwater, saltwater, brackish. I know how water chemistry works like any professional. I know the technology we use to improve the lives of these animals.
Eventually, any stagnant water source will develop anaerobic bacteria. The only solution is to keep the water from achieving stagnation.
It's really incredibly simple
@@xfatalxflawx Then you should know the aquarium conditions required to harbor anaerobic bacteria wont be replicated in Mike's setup. It's incredibly simple...
Correct me if I'm wrong but mistking doesn't make any mention of this, I guess they're NOT professionals.
But thanks for the know it all attitude, hope you had fun stroking your ego.
@@taylorhickman84 Not sure where your abusive tone has come from, but it certainly isn't warranted. I'm relaying knowledge gained from experience. Observed fact. Twenty four years testing water chemistry, building aquariums, teaching and learning about the conditions of water.
Despite being mostly pure, zero percent of RO is actually pure. Go to any fish store worth their salt that sells RO water and I can guarantee you they aerate theirs because it's a literal indisputable fact that any stagnant water will harbor anaerobic bacteria.
There isn't any need to insult or attack people for trying to teach you something new. Being wrong isn't a bad thing, it's an opportunity to become better than before. My ego does not exist the way you think it does. If you misinterpreted the tone of my response, that's not me that's stumbled.
