Default My nep "prison" ^_^

Just sharing some experience for setting up a tiny scale nep "prison". My intention is to setup a place just for L/L neps where it'll be always wet and humid. This place will be fully automated interms of watering via water springkler and mister/fogger powered by water pump and controlled by timer.

Specification :
Dimension : 17ft (width) x 30ft (length) x 9ft (height)

Shading net : Altenate Green (70%) and Black (50%).

Water Tank : 100gal (actual capacity ~80%)

Water pump :
1) Submersible pump - 0.3hp, 0.7 barr pressure to pump water springkler
2) Centrifugal pump (external) - 1hp, 2.5 barr pressure to pump mister/fogger

Springkler Nozzle : 18 pcs

Mister/Fogger Nozzle : 22 pcs (4-way) 10 pcs (1-way)

These are the pics... this project started in early July and it's now completed. I'm in the process of transfering the prisoners... errr plants to the new place now...
