Hydra and 3,000 count cabinet and beads -- HELP!

[BengalMan]

Alright, I'm in a bind here and I'm about at the point of going insane. I recently bought a 3,000 count cabinet. For humidification, I have a little over 4lbs of beads (some bags are 65% some are 70%). For some reason, the damn thing sat rock solid at 55%. So I bought a hydra and filled it up and put it in last night. Since last night, the hydra has been going crazy. It keeps beeping every 2-3 hours like it's out of water. I have the hydra set to 65% and it has yet to reach that. Talk about frustrating. I go to fill it up, and it doesn't take anywhere near as much as it did when I started. Just now I moved the Hydra to the 2nd level of the cabinet and moved around the bags of beads. I will update the thread in a few hours with what the humidity is. I'm trying everything and I just can't get it to where I want it to be.
