In my cheap cabinet, I run about 3lbs of Scott's beads and for most of the year, it's all I need. When the furnace comes on in the winter, naturally the house dries out and the humidity in the cabinet starts to dip. That's when I put my Hydra back in. Between the Hydra and beads, it holds a steady RH and I've never seen any spikes. Like Scott, maintenance is pretty low. So far this year I've had to fill the reservoir twice.
