tubing question

If I where to make my own set-up, and run tubing around the inside top of my plastic container, could I just punch all little tiny holes in the tubing right next to each other? This way when I turn the pump on it would create one big fine mist that would take up the whole area inside the container? And also, would I leave this misting going 24/7 or would it have to be alternated? Like 1 min. on, 5 min. off, 1 min. on, 5 min. off, ect? Thanks.

Punching holes in the tubing wont create a mist, It will just shoot out a fine stream of water. You need to get some kind of sprayer or mister to to create the spray. I use Heli sprayers myself. I also leave mine on 24/7

Theres a couple of places you can get them, You can get them at Home Depot in the sprinkler section, You can get a bag of them there for like $.50. Heres a good place to get misters.

Here is the company that makes the Sprayers I use. There a little pricey at a $1.75 ea, But I think there worth it. Somewhere on there is a list of there distributers, Just look for one near you
