Humidor woes with stabilization

Yeah, it took a little over a week to season it when I first got it. Running the humidifier and having a pan of water in the top that I kept re-filling.

I just got the holes drilled and three fans setup. I'm ordering another fan tomorrow. Just need to decide how I want to power the fourth, the Hydra is only rated for 3 fans i think.

I'd snag an old power supply from a computer and hook up computer fans to it and then put them on a timer.

You could also splice into one of the fans and run two of them in series unless that is how it is already setup. Someone with more knowledge on the Hydra fan kits would know better though.

Yep, that's what I'm working out now. I work for an IT company, so I'm using a 12V adaptor with molex connectors/splitters. I'm just gonna wire them all together and take the load off the Hydra.

Sweet, you should post a write-up on how to wire that all together, where you got the parts, etc. There are other members that have done similar setups but I have yet to see a thorough "how-to" with pics. I may do one when I get around to re-doing mine but it's only 2 fans, not 4+.
