SGFC and Monos in the Same Closet?

Hello once again fellow Shroomerites! I took 7 quarts rye berries from MS and used some to spawn to bulk in a tray and a bucket, and G2G'd the rest.
I thought the tray in my SGFC would have made it almost to the second or third flush before my monos were ready to fruit, but it's only just about to finish the first flush.
It is my understanding that my monos need a fan pointed nearby, but not directly at them, and that this ruins the draft-free zone that my SGFC should be in (if all is kept in the closet). I'm wondering how I can alter my set-up to get my fruiting chambers where they are happiest.
The room the closet belongs to has a humidifier that vents vertically running 24/7 on low.
Would an 80mm pc fan pointed at the closet wall behind the monotubs (behind them in relation to the SGFC)give me enough breeze for the tubs while relatively preserving the stationary air around the SGFC?
Alternatively, will there be enough air flow if I move my monotubs right nearby the humidifier in the body of the room, leaving my closet for the SGFC; or would it be a better idea to move my SGFC into the body of the room and position a horizontally-oriented fan pointed near the monos in the closet?

they need fresh air as well, not just air circulated. I don't think it would hurt to have the sgfc and the mono in the same closet though. You can always adjust humidity and FAE if you don't like what you get.

and try to use fluorescent tubes with 6500k. Those table lamps does not seem to have the right light spectrum for your shrooms and they consume more electricity as well.

Oh, the room they are in gets tons of fresh air, but I guess the closet doesn't get the most. My window is cracked for eight or ten hours per day, and the door open at least six or eight of the remaining hours. The SGFC isn't the happiest right now, as evidenced by slightly under-ideal evaporation rates. I leave the closet doors cracked two or three inches on both sides.

The lights are perfectly acceptable. They are daylight 6500k, 13 watt CFLs. I don't need enough light to justify extra expenditure at this juncture and I'm strapped for cash.
Thanks!

Interested to see your results...........I am in a similar situation and planning to convert to monos exclusively once I get that all figured out.

the sgfc doesn't like fans, it likes natural gentle currents in the room. Monotubs love fans, just not pointed right at them. They tend to dry out too fast, and no longer being a set'n'forget project.

Have you tried to put the sgfc up on a shelf? Maybe it does not get too much airflow there

Do not run a mono and SGFC in the same room unless you want to fan out that mono a whole lot.
SGFC should not be run in the same room as a fan. It will run the natural currents that make it work.
Monos (at least the ones that are dialed in like I keep mine) need to have a fan running, and at a decent speed.
If it were me, I'd leave the SGFC in the closet and put the mono in the room with a fan running.
