Fan placement for optimal air circulation

Thanks for the input fellas. First thing I did was move the humidifier from the bottom of the cabinet to the middle, sitting on a full extension shelf. A side benefit of this is that I can now access the humidifier much easier, just pull out the shelf for refilling.

I also upgraded the humidification control to Bob's newer control module, which seems much more sensitive and is easier to read that the prior Habitat Monitor. Another benefit of the new control is that it allows for auxiliary fans to be used which cycle on and off separately from the humidification fans.

I haven't placed these additional recirculation fans inside the cabinet yet, but already i've noticed that the top to bottom RH is much more consistent, within a couple points.
