Ok, so I have the Antietam, it has an Oasis xl (thanks to Poriggity) 2pnds of 65% beads, and 1 oust fan...
The humidity is bouncing from 56 to 65 depending on the time of day...
That's alot better than it was doing, but should it be fluctuating like that???
Also, is there any certian locations in the humi that I should place items such as the 4 1/2pnd bags of beads the oasis and the oust???

Give it some time. It will take a little while for it to season, be patient.

Dont feel bad about that. i've been having issues with my humi. i have since got the beads, the drymistat sticks, and have seasoned the thing and have finished a 3rd seasoning process cause i was having a low humidity leavel. i found that there was a poor seal @ the hinge area from where they did not reses the hinge far enough. i have taken the humi apart, resesed the hinge, and am waiting for the 3rd seasoning to finish up tomorrow. you might want to check the seals all the way around and make sure that all is sealing up. Other than that i dont know what to say.
Hope that this Helps!

The beads are going to fight the Oasis and play pong with the humidity. The Oasis is more than able to handle that great humi. Good luck

Well the humidity has settled down a bit...
Yesterday it only had a 3 degree swing, 66-68 with temps ranging from 70-81...
Not much I can do about the temps...

Just select the most constant (temperature-wise) spot on yer house, so at least there is less fluctuation.

Ya know... You guys have really pushed me down the slope...
I was filling the Antietam today and actually counted what I had.
hock:
I have around 130 or so sticks... While thats not a lot compared to most folk here abouts, it is 4x more than I ever thought I would have...
