Hey i just recently figured out how to make a humidifier REALLY easy all you need is an old fish tank air pump, some plastic tubing, a drill, a plastic bottle, and a 3 way valve for a fishtank (optional) i already had all of these laying around so it was inexpensive for me
1. first you want to drill a hole in the bottom of the bottle about 1 size smaller than your tubing so it fits tight and will not leak drill another hole in the cap of your container ( if you have the three way valve drill 3 holes for all 3 tubing)
2.cut a piece of tubing thats about 1 foot this will go into the bottom hole and connect to the air pump
3.insert a piece of tubing in the cap that is long enough to reach your tank
if you want you can drill an extra hole and use 2 pieces of tubing for both sides of your tank
4.connect the bottom tube to your airpump and fill with water check for leaks if there is one you will want to use silicone or hot glue to repair after that is repaired put on the cap with the pup going and water in it put your plug the hose with your finger and hold for about 5 sec then release if you dont hear a WOSHHH when you release there is an air leak (most likely the cap put some hot glue or silicone around it then check again)
5.your building is complete now fill with water and put the top hose in your tank and it should raise the humidity after a while
If you used the 3 way valve there will be better humidity produced and you could control the out put of humidity with the valves
Have Fun Building!
