1st noob question

[Irritech]

I recently upgraded from about a 100 ct humi (desktop) to an 80 qt igloodor. I have really had a wonderful time filling it thus far too, but that's not the problem. I have a bowl of 65% heartfelt beads and two digital hygrometers. Both hygrometers have been calibrated and are fine so I know that's not a problem. The thing is that the hygro in the bottom always reads about 65-67% and the one on top about 69-71%. Does this matter and is there any way I can better stabalize the RH?

put in an Oust fan or two...they will make things just fine...

Indeed, indeed.

 

[jrohrer]

exactly...or if you have single trays in the top of the coolerdor you can try putting some beads up there closer to the top as well..:dunno:

just a thought

I would suggest splitting the beads between top and bottom if you are able. This will allow you to balance. Also, the oust fan idea was great, get some circulation going.

I have a 100 quart. 1/2 pound of beads on eac side and two oust fans. No problemo.

Split the beads and add some fans as has been said. Good luck!

Picked up two of the oust fans last weekend and she's holding steady @ 67% top to bottom now. Thanks for the tips.
