MistKing Starter Misting System – 5th Generation | Reptile, Vivarium & Orchid Misting Kit
Automate your habitat humidity with our most reliable, customizable entry-level misting solution—ideal for terrariums and tropical enclosures.
The MistKing Starter Misting System (5th Gen) is engineered for beginners and pros alike who want precision misting, quiet performance, and expandability. Whether you're hydrating a single terrarium or planning a small-scale misting setup, this system is built to grow with you—supporting up to 10 nozzles right out of the box.
Items included with starter system. All items can be customized by selecting from the right.
What Makes the 5th Gen Starter System Better:
- Next-gen ST-24 Digital Timer: Features upgraded electronics with triple the power rating of previous generation timer—more reliable during power outages and high-demand cycles.
- Custom Metal Reservoir Bulkhead: Designed with high-torque metal threads for a secure, leak-proof seal no stripping, no worries.
- New Reservoir Filter: Keeps debris out of your system, helping prevent clogged nozzles. Filters are white to make it easier to see when the filters need to be changed.
Want to expand beyond 10 nozzles? Consider upgrading to our Ultimate or Advanced Misting Systems, or pair this system with the MKP-100 (upgraded) pump for up to 20 nozzles.
Why Reptile Keepers, Growers, and Industry Pros Love it:
- Reliable Performance: Custom low voltage 24V DC pump can run dry without damage and includes vibration-dampening feet for quiet operation.
- Flexible Control Options: Comes standard with the ST-24 timer, or choose a Repeat Cycle Timer (RCT-24) or Hygrostat Controller (HT-24) based on your needs. To learn more about how each timer works, please visit the timer page.
- Fine Mist Precision: The included Value L misting nozzle features a check-valved tip to reduce dripping, with ultra-fine ~50 micron droplet size—perfect for keepers of reptiles, amphibians, exotic plants and more.
- No Specialized Reservoir Needed: Convert any bucket with our included bulkhead adapter—no need to ship bulky containers. Plastic pails cost from $3-$8 retail depending on size.

| Add-On | Description |
|---|---|
| MKP-100 Pump Upgrade | Upgrade to our premium pump with a larger motor and 2× the flow capacity. Supports up to 20 nozzles—ideal if you plan to scale your misting system (our pump of choice!) |
| Timer | By default, this system comes with an ST-24 Seconds Timer, but you can change your selection to either RCT-24 or HT-24 depending on your requirements. |
| ZipDrip Valve | Our nozzle tips already greatly reduce dripping, but ZipDrip eliminates post-mist dripping completely by releasing pressure in the lines resulting in ZERO (ZIP!) drip. See ZipDrip in action. |
| Screen Top Wedge | Easily mount nozzles to screen-top cages. Includes perfectly sized wedges and mounting screws. |
| Double Nozzle Assembly | Double the value with this double headed misting assembly. Ideal for smaller tanks where it's not worth it to put 2 nozzles next to each other. |
