I have had my tower for about 7 years now and love it. However, my Hydra LG started acting up about 2 months ago (the alarm stopped working too). It was reading 75.2 degrees and 72.3% humidity all the time but a lot of my stogies were dry and and a few that were unwrapped in the drawers had plume on them. I spoke with one of my vendors about my issues and I ended up purchasing a new Hydra LG. To test my theory I had placed a digital humidistat on the top shelf and lower shelf. The top shelf would read 70.2 degrees but only 36% humidity. The lower shelf would read 69 degrees and 55% humidity. What I found out was my Hydra would not turn on until I dialed the setting to 90%. I wasn't sure if I had too many cigars in the humidor (approximately 1,300), too many individual boxes (approximately 15), etc for not getting an accurate reading. I even tried unplugging the Hydra to reset the humidistat but it seemed to have no effect on the same reading. I recently installed 2 large LG fans into the tower. One on the top shelf and above the (4) trays. Is there a specific way to face the fans for proper air flow? Should I be facing them to draw the moisture being provided by the Hydra, one fan drawing air and one fan pushing air? Do I need to install more fans?

On a side note, I removed the green foam material and started using beads, which seams to work better as they don't promote the mold on the foam material. Just be cautious on how many beads are use in the hydra basin. They can expand fairly quickly. Any insight regarding my questions would be appreciated.
