I would make the investment in some beads, that never break down, and probably regulate better than an active system in such a small space.

Got any recommendations on the best beads to use? Would they be a set and forget kind of thing?

HCM Beads at http://www.shilalasbeads.com/
or Heartfelt beads at http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/

They are about as set and forget it as you can get. Give them a spritz of water every few weeks depending on your environment.

Both would work their magic.

I actually have both a half a pound that's 70% and a 1/4 pound that's 65% and it holds my humi perfect at 67-68%

The results of mixing beads are likely coincidence.

"Spritzing" HCM beads is NOT recommended, IIRC. A dish of water in the humi recharges them in no time. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

A small dish with a clean sponge for surface area , but yes you are correct.
