Left it open for a few more days.
Plugged the drain with scotch tape.
Left one of the metal shelves in on lowest shelf until my wooden shelves from Forrest get here.
Placed 1 pound of beads under the metal shelf.
Placed another pound ontop of all my boxes.
Put the cold setting on warmest.

I think that's it.

I'd get shelves from Forrest to maximize the space. 2 pounds of heartfelt 65 RH beads is what I use. No fans currently.

same here except i ordered drawers cause i have a lot of singles and 5ers. i did put another metal shelf about halfway up and i have a few trays in there holding singles and boxes on the bottom. i think in my edgestar i have just over 2 pounds of HF beads. holds between 62-64% and 63-64 degrees so im a happy camper.

my old vino that isnt thermo isnt pluged in and i keep a pound and a half of HCM beads in there. holds right at 65% for me so im happy. that vino is for overflow / boxes.
