 fuiting chamber setup

I'm sick of perlite and want to create a new chamber. Basically I want to use rubbermaid totes, but I am conflicted as to the best way to humidify/air exchange. I saw a post about a tropicaire humidifier from petco that seems easy enough, but I also see a lot of talk about cool mist humidifiers. What is the best/easiest way to go? As for lighting, a fluorescent bulb in one of those aluminum clamp lights has been doing the job. Is that sufficient for a bigger chamber?

if you looking for something a bigger maybe a greenhouse/martha setup with a coolmist....or even a big rubbermaid with a coolmist is good. The coolmist will generally give you 85% humidity(in a sufficienty sealed enviorment) and great air exchange.

I use the tropicaire with a profile 5500 pump. Definetly a good investment. I got this system to eliminate the need for messy perlite and fanning. I work full time so I can't pay my veggies much attention, so I got one of these setups. I dont have to fan my cakes because fresh humid air is constantly being supplied. This bad boy keeps the relative humidity at a constant 98%. Perfect for cake growers! Try it out. Let me know if you have any questions about the unit.
