Not sure why most of the designs I saw have all the plumbing and wiring in the lid.  Made more sense to me to plumb thru the side.
Here is my fancy float valve
And dropped the five head pond fogger in, and let her rip.  Works like a charm. Tomorrow, I will plumb it straight into my stainless steel ventilation duct work.

Looks like a winner, Av.

I like the side mount, especially the blower.  Are you going to use an aquarium heater? 

:hi:

Nice job, Amanita. Be advised though, that silicone will not really adhere to the metal of the fogger. Overtime it will tend to separate.

I love the fog that these units create. Once you have the room dialed in, it's possible to create as much humidity as you need without any pooling on the floor. It just hangs in the air and the mushies can suck up as much as they want.

However, I would suggest having a backup fogging unit, as they are manufactured in China and notoriously unreliable. I've burned through quite a few of them in the past year.

cheers.
