Automated FAE and RH
    #7190027 -

I am looking to automate FAE and RH in 4 70 liter tubs (1 x 2 x 1.5)
I already have somewhat of an idea on how I'm going to do it but i would like some input.

I plan on using some type of long tub (4 feet long to cover the width of my 4 tubs) and fill it with water and put in a floting fogger. There will be 4 fans mounted a foot apart on the top of this tub and there will be 4 pipes coming out of it (one in each tub). So this would cover RH and FAE from the fan and it could all be put on a timer to make sure all the tubs RH stays at the right level.

Anyone see why this wouldnt work or have any suggestions ... I plan on making up a drawing tomorow to show what I'm talking about.

A Cool Mist humidifier works great at serving both of those purposes. It provides both humidity and fresh air exchange.

I dont reccommend running hoses from a cool mist, from what I have heard/ read here, it tends to cause the motor to burn out.

I run my setup through a martha, so I had the option of leaving the coolmist and ultrasonice INSIDE the FC. which is working fine right now.

That's really a matter of personal preference and experience. I've been piping my cool mist in for a few years now. I've only replace one and that was due to other, unrelated issues.

Another issue is 1 cool mist will not provide RH for 4 tubs (1.5 x 2 feet) but a fogger setup would and will e a cheap alternative with the added benifit of a huge resvoir

I'd run 2 cool mists, and run 2 hoses from each to supply both humidity and FAE. Also, the resevior of most cool mists are easily expandable.
