SGFC/Monotub Fan Dilemma

I recently moved to a new house and have limited space for cultivation. I have almost no choice as to the location of my tub and SGFC. Modifications can be made, but at the price of significant inconvenience.
Here is my set-up:

On the left is my SGFC used to fruit PF cakes and Lion’s Mane fruiting blocks (wrong forum I know). Also, it will be put on higher pedestals to allow more FAE at the bottom.
On the right is my Monotub used to spawn GT to bulk.
Here is my dilemma: In order to ensure maximum FAE in my monotub, I plan to use a fan pointing near, but not at, the tub. At correct placement I feel a VERY small draft at the face of the tub. Though, I fear the use of the fan will significantly affect the RH in my SGFC.
My question is: If I mist my SGFC extra, will it compensate for the deficit in RH caused by the fan? If not, do any of you have any other suggestions? Also, if you see any other issues with my setup, don’t hesitate to identify it.

I`d never fan a sgfc, it can dry out very fast. It`s just perfect for a stable passive air exchange, that`s how it`s meant to be, designed to work on its own, with just having an eye on perlite/cake-humidity.

So in no way will extra misting be able to compensate for the accelerated drying?

It's very unnecessary imo. Even if the fan isn't pointed to the tub, it will provide extra airflow, what you already have passive from the sgfc, or may even disturb its function. That's too much maintenance to keep moisture on spot. But just my opinion

You are absolutely correct. Though the fan is for the monotub, not the SGFC. The SGFC is just unfortunately in close proximity to the tub. If misting won’t help, could I put a barrier up between the SGFC and the tub? Will that affect FAE in the SGFC too much?

I`d kick that fan out, as you don`t need for a mono also 
But as always: You have to try before you really know!
